2016 | Food & Drink

One part gin, one part vermouth rosso, and one part Campari, served over ice and garnished with an orange slice, the Negroni is a simple yet delicious cocktail that has made its mark on history.This book takes readers on a fascinating journey through the history of one of the world's most famous cocktails, from its origins in Florence in 1919 - when Count Camillo Negroni asked a bartender to strengthen his normal cocktail, the Americano, by adding gin rather than soda water - to its rise to worldwide popularity in the 21st century. It also explores the ingredients and the techniques used by bartenders around the world, as well as classic mixes and new twists on the original.
