THE CLASSIC NEGRONI

Ready in: 10 MinTotal time: 10 Min

This recipe from “The Modern Mixologist” Tony Abou-Ganim celebrates National Negroni Week! Tony travels the globe mixing drinks, organizing cocktail programs, and teaching barmanship and cocktail history, and you’ve heard him on the Radio sharing his best cocktail recipes.The Negroni was created in Florence, Italy in 1920 when Italian aristocrat and trendsetter Count Camillo Negroni asked his local publican to add some gin to the then-trendy Americano cocktail. The Americano—Campari, sweet vermouth, and a splash of soda—was particularly popular in Italy post-WW1, when pro-American sentiment was high. The Count's namesake drink soon became an Italian cocktail classic. Recipe Courtesy of Tony Abou-Ganim, The Modern Mixologist
