The negroni was invented in 1919 by a bartender in Florence for Italian Count Camillo Negroni.
The ratio is one part gin, one part vermouth, and one part Campari, garnished with an orange peel.
Variations on the Negroni theme
– Boulevardier: a bourbon whiskey is used in place of gin– Cardinale: uses dry vermouth in place of sweet vermouth– Dutch negroni: uses jenever for the gin– Negroni sbagliato: uses Prosecco in place of gin
