Negroni Cocktail Story

The godfather of apéritifs, the Negroni is a bold mix of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. The sophisticated drink is often credited to Italian Count Camillo Negroni, who, in 1919, requested a stronger version of the Americano cocktail with gin, minus the soda water, while at the Caffé Casoni in Florence. The endlessly riffable template of equal parts spirit, bitters, and fortified wine provided opportunities for drinks like the Old Pal to enter the cocktail scene.
