The Negroni: A Love Affair with a Classic Cocktail

The Golden Age of cocktails brought us many of today’s favorite drinks. The Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Martini, and more still grace cocktail menus around the world, and rightfully so. But ask any craft cocktail bartender what their favorite drink is, and you’re likely to hear the same answer: The Negroni.

Something about the symmetrical combination of gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth has worked its way into drinking culture like no other cocktail. Part sweet, part bitter, and pleasantly boozy without being over the top, the Negroni is an any-time-of-day sort of drink. And in his new book, “The Negroni: A Love Affair with a Classic Cocktail”, author Matt Hranek explores the ins and outs of the Italian classic in remarkable detail. In it, you’ll find history, stories, and recipes both old and new to further encourage your love of this exceptional drink.
