Background

What’s a Negroni?

The Negroni cocktail was born in Florence, Italy in the early 20th century. Legend goes that a Count Camillo Negroni was having a long day and unable to find relief in the mild-mannered Americano. He asked the bartender to swap out the soda water for gin, and a star was born.

The French disagree with this version of events. Of course they do.

Count Camillo Negroni

What a guy. RIP 1934.
