The Negroni is a classic Italian cocktail made with equal parts of three ingredients: gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. It is typically served over ice in a short glass and garnished with an orange slice or twist. The drink is known for its bold, bitter flavor profile, making it a popular choice among cocktail enthusiasts. Originating in Florence, Italy, in the early 20th century, the Negroni was created when Count Camillo Negroni requested a stronger version of the Americano cocktail. The drink has since gained international popularity and is often enjoyed as an aperitif, stimulating the appetite before a meal.
