Ready, set, go! This is followed by the story of a true Italian royal among the drinks. It was Count Camillo Negroni, in fact, who realized that the sagging taste of his “Americano” was simply no longer to his liking. For the bartender at Caffe—Casoni in Florence, Fosco Scarselli, the solution was obvious: gin. Simply replace soda in the original recipe, and the Negroni was born. Our interpretation of this consists of strong London Dry, accompanied by red Burschik's vermouth, accented by the bitter note of Campari.
