The Negroni is a classy Italian cocktail made with gin, sweet vermouth and Campari, garnished with an orange slice. The most widely reported account of its origin takes place at Cafe Casoni in Florence around 1919. It’s alleged that French general Count Camillo Negroni asked the bartender, Fosco Scarselli, for his usual Campari and vermouth to be topped with gin instead of soda water.
