A Negroni is a basic Italian cocktail made with gin, Campari, and candy vermouth. It is likely one of the hottest cocktails on this planet and is commonly served as an aperitif.
The Negroni was invented in Florence, Italy, in 1919 by Rely Camillo Negroni. Negroni requested a bartender to strengthen his Americano cocktail by including gin. The bartender obliged and the Negroni was born.
