History of the Negroni
The Negroni has its roots in 19th century Italy when Count Camillo Negroni asked the bartender to strengthen his Americano with gin instead of soda, giving rise to this legendary cocktail. Since then, it has been a symbol of elegance and sophistication, gaining popularity worldwide for its balanced flavours and intriguing history.
How it's made?
Preparing a Negroni is simple but requires precision. Mix equal parts gin, red vermouth, and Campari in a mixing glass with ice. Stir well and serve in an old-fashioned glass over fresh ice. Garnish with an orange slice and you’re ready to enjoy!
Existing Variants
Over time, the Negroni has been the subject of various reinterpretations and variants, each adding a unique twist to this classic cocktail. Among the most popular variants is the Negroni Sbagliato, which substitutes gin for prosecco, creating a lighter and more effervescent version of the original. Another well-known variant is the White Negroni, which uses white vermouth instead of red vermouth, offering a softer and more refreshing flavour profile. These reinterpretations demonstrate the cocktail’s versatility and its ability to adapt to the tastes and preferences of each era.
Star cocktail: appearances in cinema
One of the most iconic scenes featuring the Negroni is in Stanley Kubrick’s film “A Clockwork Orange”. In a memorable scene, the main character, Alex DeLarge, played by Malcolm McDowell, enjoys this cocktail at the Korova Milk Bar, reflecting his sophistication and taste for refined pleasures amidst a dystopian world.
