In the last year or so I started drinking Negronis. I use Tanqueray Gin, Carpano Antica Sweet Red Vermouth, and Campari. I mix it like Stanley Tucci does - delicious!

From "The Negroni: Drinking to La Dolce Vita": According to reliable lore, the cocktail was born when an Italian bartender responded to a customer's demand for a stiffer riff on an Americano cocktail (a much-tamer mix of Campari, sweet vermouth, and club soda). The patron, Count Camillo Negroni, had picked up a taste for strong liquor while working—true story—as a rodeo clown in the American Wild West, and gave his name to the resulting concoction.
