How to make the perfect negroni
While being one of the classic drinks that has been an all-time favorite of bartenders all over the world, Negroni is the classic Italian way to open a meal. With its bittersweet taste, it is considered as a palate cleanser that makes way for the evening’s delights.
As per BBC Good Food website, the negroni is an adaptation itself–of the Americano, a simple blend of Campari, vermouth and soda. Story goes that the drink was invented in Florence in 1919 when Count Negroni asked for a slug of gin in his Americano in place of the soda. So the aromatic and dangerously alcoholic negroni was born, and then adopted by Italians as an appetite-building pre-dinner drink, or a palate-cleansing settler afterwards.
The drink has been seldom tampered with in the near-century since it was born. It's now a super-modish choice in hipster pubs and enthusiastic cocktail bars, where whole negroni menus are emerging, but the basic blueprint remains the same–making it an easy cocktail to whip up at home.
