The classic Negroni is at the top of the popularity chart these days. It’s a bit of a surprise hit, since its searing bitter flavor isn’t quite the formula for a crowd pleaser. But it’s the drink of the moment! Here’s a secret for you: we like all of these Negroni variations better than the classic drink itself! There are so many types of Negronis, like the Boulevardier, where spicy bourbon is a better balance for the drink than gin. Or the Negroni Sbagliato, a bubbly version using Prosecco instead of gin. And then a favorite, the ultra unique White Negroni. Let’s get mixing!
And now…the top Negroni variations to try!
A little Negroni history…
The classic Negroni is an Italian cocktail made of gin, sweet vermouth and Campari. It was invented back in the 1920’s by a Count Negroni in Florence, Italy (or so the story goes). Apparently a man named Count Negroni ordered an Americano, but wanted it with a little more kick. He asked for it with gin and the Negroni was born!
