Negroni, IBA
SEE ALL LESSONS

It was invented in 1919 by and for Count Camillo Negroni.

The history of the Negroni is very fascinating: this cocktail, which turns 100 in 2019, is the typical aperitif very popular in Tuscany, a classic in Florence.

For the first time in many years the Negroni overtakes the Old Fashioned and takes first place among the most loved classic cocktails in the world. It all began in Florence between 1919 and 1920 when Count Camillo Negroni, returning from one of his many trips to London, asked the barman Fosco Scarselli of the elegant Caffè Casoni in Florence for "a good dose of gin" in the usual Milan -Turin (red vermouth and Campari bitters, which later with the addition of soda was renamed American in honor of the boxer Primo Carnera, the first European to win the heavyweight title overseas).

Ingredients

30ml of gin

30 ml of red Vermouth

30 ml Campari or Martini bitters

slice of orange

ice

How to prepare Negroni

1.     To prepare the Negroni, pour the Campari bitters into the glass. Then add the red Vermouth. To be precise in the doses, use the jigger, a dispenser used by bartenders.

2.     At this point pour in the gin. The next step is to add ice to the glass: we advise you to do this step now and not with an empty glass: in this way the ice does not heat up and the Negroni does not get watered down. In this case, in fact, the ice makes the cocktail more homogeneous. Mix with the help of the bar spoon.

3.     Garnish your Negroni with a slice of orange. Cheers
