Negroni

The negroni is an Italian cocktail made from equal parts gin, sweet red vermouth and Campari, typically served over ice with an orange peel garnish, producing a strongly bitter, herbal drink. It is traditionally said to have been created in Florence in the early twentieth century when Count Camillo Negroni asked a bartender to strengthen his usual Americano cocktail by replacing its soda water with gin. The negroni has become one of the most widely ordered cocktails internationally in the twenty first century and has inspired numerous variations that substitute or add other spirits and liqueurs while keeping its equal-parts, bittersweet structure.
