10773 Bitter Widow Under 5 mins Under 5 mins 1 drink Wed Nov 15 10:21:00 -0800 2006 Mon Oct 19 16:34:40 -0700 2009 Easy CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/10773 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 23:34:40 GMT A riff on the Negroni from Salt House A riff on the Negroni from San Francisco's Salt House. Salt House, a great urban tavern in San Francisco, has a cocktail called the Bitter Widow (really just a Negroni, with vodka standing in for the gin). No matter its origins, it tastes great, and the festive color and suitability for being mixed in large batches make it a shoo-in for a cocktail party. Keep it in pitchers for your guests to pour over ice.

Game plan: The Campari, vermouth, and vodka can be combined ahead of time and kept covered in the refrigerator. Pour over ice and garnish to serve.
