Ice

Ice has a precise job in Italian bar service: Campari’s Negroni is mixed directly in an ice-filled rocks glass.

Italian name
Ghiaccio
Bar reference
Negroni in a rocks glass

At the table

Campari’s method pours the bitter, gin and red vermouth over ice, then stirs. The glass is part of the preparation, not just the final presentation.

Our suggestion: follow the method of the cocktail you are making rather than applying one ice treatment to every drink.
