Description
This classic cocktail originated in Florence in 1919 when Italian Count Negroni requested gin be added to his Americano cocktail. A complex concoction of equal parts gin, bitter Campari and sweet vermouth, the Classic Negroni is usually served over ice to dilute the intensity, but can also be served with a splash of club soda.
For our Negroni we’ve gone for Roku Japanese gin, Campari and Martini Rosso sweet vermouth.
