Frequently Asked Questions

What Is A Classic Negroni Cocktail?

First up is the classic Negroni, which is equal parts gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, and an orange rind. The Negroni was originally mixed up in Florence, Italy around 1919! A classic cocktail recipe that has become so popular in recent years they even dedicated a week to it!

What is Campari?

Campari is an Italian aperitif and has a bittersweet flavor to it and is also what gives the cocktail its vibrant red color!

How Strong Is A Classic Negroni?

The Negroni is made entirely of liquor (apart from the ice cube!). It’s not the strongest drink, though it does give the classic Dry Martini a run for its money. On average, you can expect your Negroni to have an alcohol content somewhere around 24 percent ABV (48 proof).

Why Is A Negroni Called A Negroni?

The most widely reported version of a classic negroni’s origin is that it was invented at Caffe Casoni in Florence, Italy in 1919. On average, you can expect your Negroni to have an alcohol content somewhere around 24 percent ABV (48 proof).
