September 2023, New Delhi: Legend has it that the Negroni originated at Caffe Casoni, which is situated in the City of Dreams, also known as Florence, Italy. Based on historic recollections of this event, it has been said that the widely loved aperitif was amplified by young Count Camillo Negroni. It is believed by cocktailians that Count Camillo Negroni invented the drink when he ordered an Americano made with gin in place of the usual soda water. A Negroni is essentially an aperitif that gained worldwide popularity as a drink to stimulate your appetite before a meal. The standard composition of a classic Negroni is equal parts Gin, Sweet Vermouth, Campari bitters, and a sliver of orange peel. Traditionally, Negronis are stirred, not shaken, and built over ice but over a period of time, Bars have started adding their own unique twists to make this Classic even more popular. This iconic beverage is never seen without its essential garnish: a slice of orange which adds a distinguished aroma of citrus oil and a hint of citrus flavour. A Negroni is arguably the most celebrated cocktail across the world. Though it is said to have originated in Italy, it has made its way into the hearts of cocktail lovers across the globe. We at Music & Mountains believe that this exquisite cocktail is beverage royalty with a memorable history and an unforgettable taste.
