Negroni

The origin of the Negroni cocktail can be traced back to Florence, Italy, in 1919. According to legend, Count Camillo Negroni asked bartender Fosco Scarselli to replace the soda water in his favorite Americano cocktail with gin to make it stronger. The bartender also added an orange slice as a garnish to distinguish it from the traditional Americano. This classic drink was subsequently named after Count Negroni and became an enduring standard in mixology. Over its century-long history, the Negroni has been a symbol of bitter cocktails and is widely celebrated around the world.

Flavor

The Negroni is renowned for its perfectly balanced bitter-sweet profile. The unique bitterness of Campari blends harmoniously with the sweetness of sweet red vermouth and the botanical notes of gin, creating a complex and well-rounded taste with a long and deep finish.
