The Negroni is the cocktail equivalent of a well-tailored Italian suit—timeless, bold, and effortlessly stylish. Born in Florence in 1919 when Count Camillo Negroni asked for his Americano with gin instead of soda, this equal-parts mix of gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth is bitter, complex, and undeniably sophisticated. Served over ice with an orange twist, it’s a drink for those who appreciate balance and a little bite. Once you acquire the taste, there’s no turning back.
