Free up your party time by bottling up these Negronis in advance of your next party. Once bottled and properly sealed, these will keep for about one month. 

• 2 cups gin
• 2 cups Campari
• 2 cups sweet vermouth
• 2 cups water

Combine ingredients in a large pitcher. Stir, pour into small bottles, seal, label and refrigerate or stash in ice.

To serve: Pour cocktail over fresh ice in an Old Fashioned glass, garnish with an orange slice or drink it straight out of the bottle. Makes 8 cups or 16 servings.
