Negroni Recipes Perfect for Fall

With so much uncertainty this year, it can be comforting to turn to the things in life that remain consistent – and what is more consistent than the classic Negroni cocktail? A long enduring favorite of cocktail drinkers around the world, this Italian cocktail staple is proving to be the go-to as we move into the cooler autumn months.

In 1919, Count Camillo Negroni famously invented the Negroni in Florence, Italy, when asking his bartender to stiffen his Americano by replacing the soda water with gin. A century later the essential aperitif is beloved by drinkers around the world.
