Born in Italy, the Negroni is a twist on the "Americano" cocktail. While the Americano had soda water, the Negroni packs a bigger punch by using gin instead. It also has an orange peel to complement the flavors. It's named after Count Camillo Negroni, who first requested the drink (when he wanted something more booze-infused than his usual Americano). You can make a "Tegroni" by substituting tequila for the gin.
3/4 ounce gin
3/4 ounce Campari
3/4 ounce sweet red vermouth
orange peel
Stir ingredients with ice until very cold; strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a strip of orange peel.
To quick-chill a glass, fill it with ice and add some water while you prepare the drink. When the drink is ready, the glass is ready.
Appetizer Suggestions: Anything with a salty edge, such as beef pate or a soft cheese, such as Brie or Camembert.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
