So, let's dive into the bittersweet world of Negroni Week!

The Origins of Negroni Week

A Classic Cocktail's Legacy

Negroni Week was born from the beloved Negroni cocktail, a timeless concoction that has graced cocktail menus worldwide for a century. It's a blend of equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, garnished with an orange peel. This iconic drink's origin story is fascinating in itself, as it's believed to have been created in Florence, Italy, in 1919. Count Camillo Negroni, the cocktail's namesake, allegedly requested a stronger version of the Americano cocktail, and thus, the Negroni was born.
