Gin-based cocktail (7)

I think it could be either:

martini

negroni

(Other definitions for martini that I've seen before include "Alternative name for Simone Memmi, pre-Renaissance Italian painter" , "Italian drink" , "tipple" , "Type of Italian vermouth" , "Cocktail of gin and dry vermouth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
