Negroni History
The Negroni was born in 1919 at Caffè Casoni in Florence, Italy. It began when Count Camillo Negroni asked to replace the soda water in his favorite Americano cocktail with gin.
Bartender Fosco Scarselli fulfilled this request, and the cocktail was named "Negroni" after the Count. Orange was used instead of lemon to distinguish it from the Americano.
Today it's an IBA official cocktail and one of the most ordered classic cocktails worldwide. Variations include the Boulevardier (bourbon base) and Negroni Sbagliato (sparkling wine).
