Classic Negroni
Perhaps one of the most iconic cocktails of all time, let alone gin cocktails specifically, the Negroni is a classic cocktail we return to again and again, whether its as a Summer cooler or an after dinner digestif. In 2019 it enjoyed its 100th birthday since it's invention in Florence, Italy by an Italian Count who demanded that the bartender replace the club soda in his Americano with gin.
A bitter but delicious and refreshing drink, it is wonderfully simple to mix.
