This is delicious and refreshing. Make time to soak the herbs in vodka overnight, it is a highlight. It's unfortunate others posted low reviews for this recipe based on their frustration in finding the cookie recipe, because this cocktail is a hit.

Loved the Negroni drink. I'd made some kumquat and thyme infused vodka, which is what I used to make this recipe. I liked the fact that this isn't a fruit-sweet drink - it's quite piquant or tart from the Campari (bitters and totally refreshing for a summer evening. Beautiful color, and very easy to make. I added a bit more sparkling water than the recipe calls for as the drink is quite strong. I didn't know much about the Negroni drink - developed in Italy in the early 1900's. As bartenders made some changes to it over the years, they began adding fruit juice, sparkling water, and then vodka instead of gin (the traditional alcohol in a Negroni. And somebody nicknamed the vodka-based drink a Negroski. So technically this drink is also a Negroski.
