Cocktails are often referred to as “symphonies in a glass,” and this one from Jeffrey Morgenthaler, bar manager of Clyde Common, in Portland, Oregon, is, indeed, bittersweet. Jeffrey's creative juices rise well above sea level in this relatively simple riff on the Negroni.

Ingredients

　　3⁄4 ounce Punt e Mes

　　3⁄4 ounce Aperol

　　Garnish: 1 generous lemon twist

　　Stir all the ingredients with cracked ice in a mixing glass, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the lemon twist.
