Trivia

  1. As with many older cocktails, the origin of the Negroni is fiercely debated. One story tells of a request by an Italian nobleman, Count Camillo Negroni, around 1919 in Florence, Italy, at Bar Casoni. He asked for a stronger version of his favorite drink: An Americano.

  2. There's another claim made by the descendants of the French General Pascal Olivier de Negroni: They have correspondence that states that the drink was invented by the general in 1857 in Senegal.

  3. Orson Welles praised the drink while he was making the film “Black Magic” in Rome in 1947: "The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you. They balance each other."

  4. Negronis have historically been a favorite of chefs and other folks that work in the food industry. It was a favorite of Anthony Bourdain.

  5. Negroni week is celebrated every year in June.
