Tasting Notes: Citrus bitterness and juniper berry fruit up front, with fresh orange peel and spruce tips following. An aromatic “Ready-To-Serve” cocktail developed in the Marche! It is said that the Negroni originated at Caffè Casoni in Florence around the year 1919, when Count Camillo Negroni, inspired by London’s then-prevalent gin scene, decided to order a new spin on his usual Americano, requesting it with a touch of gin instead of soda. The bartender honored his request and added an orange garnish rather than the lemon wedge of the Americano to signify the strong new drink he had created. In Florence, the Count’s “usual” became known as Count Negroni’s Americano, and eventually, the Negroni, adopted by the Italians as a pre-dinner aperitif or a palate-cleanser. The Negroni is one of the simplest and most elegant drink formulas around, equal parts vermouth, gin, and bitters.
