Negroni

The Negroni, the most delicious of bitter cocktails is over 100 years old.
Legend tells it that 100 years ago, Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender friend at the Cassoni Cafe on the Via de’ Tornabuoni to strengthen his favourite cocktail, the Americano by replacing the soda with gin. The bartender was Fosco Scarselli, who also added an orange garnish, rather than the lemon you’d usually get with an Americano, and the drink took off. Before long, everyone was coming into the bar for a ‘Negroni.’
