Method
- Put the marmalade and apricot jam in a small bowl and mix with 2 tsp just-boiled water to smooth and loosen. Put in a cocktail shaker or a large, lidded jam jar with 2 ice cubes and the Campari, then shake until blended. Strain into a jug – if a little of the jam hasn’t dispersed, shake again and strain the remainder into the jug again.
- Pour the vermouth (or grape juice) and gin into the jug and stir well. Roll up the orange zest and put in a cooled sterilised* 500ml bottle. Carefully pour in the Negroni, using a funnel if you have one. Store in the fridge for 2-4 weeks. Serve poured over ice with extra pared orange.
