Summary

In 2019, the Negroni turned 100 years old, and it’s more popular than ever。 The drink’s classic proportions are equal parts Campari, gin, and sweet vermouth, making it an easy cocktail to order and to make on your own。 The Negroni will give readers insight into the drink’s origins in Italy (it started as a twist on the Americano), and the tools to make over 20 simple variations from drink experts and bartenders around the world。 Here’s the Negroni Frappé from the famed bar Dante in New York City; the Negroni Spagliato from Bar Basso in Milan, where the gin is replaced with prosecco; and the author’s own version, which goes heavier on the gin and lighter on the vermouth。 Included will be details on garnish, bitters, tools, glassware; a section on the importance of the vermouth used; interviews with bartenders from around the world; where to get the best Negroni; and so much more。 Beautiful original photography of the drinks along with archival imagery of famous Negroni lovers—like Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles—and vintage liquor ads make this gorgeous book an irresistible gift for anyone who loves to enjoy a Negroni。

My parents had their 65th-anniversary last summer and in between COVID19 lockdowns, we all got together and had 。。。 Negronis and Negroni Spagliatos!!!!!I loved the history of the drink and all the recipes ad the beautiful vintage-looking ads in this beautiful book that made me want to buy a hard copy of it, rip them out and frame them。 I am also going to give this book, along with some barware and bottles of Campari, gin, and sweet vermouth as a wedding gift this summer to the girl who first introduced me to Negronis as it is a perfect "set up your household" kind of gift。 As always, I try to find a reason to not rate with stars as I simply adore emojis (outside of their incessant use by "🙏-ed Social Influencer Millennials/#BachelorNation survivors/Tik-Tok and YouTube Millionaires/snowflakes / literally-like-overusers etc。 " on Instagram and Twitter。。。 Get a real job, people!) so let's give it 🥃🥃🥃🥃 。。。more
