The History of the Negroni Cocktail
Step back in time to over a century ago when Count Negroni made his mark on cocktail history. In a quaint corner of the Cassoni Cafe on the Via de’ Tornabuoni, he sought to elevate his Americano by swapping out the soda for gin, igniting a revolution in mixology. Legend has it that the astute bartender, Fosco Scarselli, not only made this bold substitution but also replaced the traditional lemon garnish with a slice of orange, forever altering the drink’s destiny. As for the addition of bitters, the annals of cocktail lore remain silent, leaving us to ponder the mystery behind this timeless classic.
