The Negroni

The Negroni is one of the easiest cocktails to make, it is also one of the most iconic. According to legend, a century ago Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender in Florence to stiffen an Americano by replacing the soda water with gin. The rest is, as they say, history.  With its cosmically simple 1:1:1 ratio of Campari, sweet vermouth and gin, this cocktail is the perfect balance of bitter and sweet with just a touch of an aura of sophistication. Penned by Negroni aficionado and author Matt Hranek, this book offers a curated collection of recipes, both the classic and dozens of variations, deviations, and delicious reinterpretations.
