Negroni is a classic cocktail that originated in Italy in the early 20th century. It is a simple yet elegant drink that is made with just three ingredients: gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. The ingredients are stirred together with ice and served over ice cubes in a Rock glass. Negroni is known for its bitter-sweet taste, with the Campari providing a distinctive bitter flavour that is balanced by the sweetness of the vermouth and the juniper flavour of the gin. It is often enjoyed as an aperitif, before a meal.
