Campari and gin are mixed together—no cocktail shaker required!—to make up John's Negroni.

"Rachael and I love Italy," John says. "I also love drinks that can be assembled easily and quickly in the glass, with no need for a cocktail shaker or strainer. As it turns out, the national cocktail of Italy—the Negroni—is just that kind of drink. If you're in Italy, you most likely will drink wine, but they do at least one cocktail and do it well."

John likes to pair his Negroni with his Creamy Pasta With Brandy for Rach on Valentine's Day. Aw!

John's tip: Make it a Negroni Spritzer by finishing it off with a splash of club soda — like he does for Rach in the video above, taken in their home kitchen.
