Don't skimp on the ice - it's important to keep this cocktail cold.

Background
History
The Negroni is believed to have originated in Italy in the early 20th century, when an Italian bartender decided to replace soda water with gin in the recipe for a classic Americano cocktail. The result, named after the patron who requested it, Count Camillo Negroni, has since become a treasured classic.
