Whereas the martini was a front-runner of the 20th century cocktail lexicon, the Negroni appears on track to be this century's preferred stirred favorite. Adventurous adaptations are plentiful, and sometimes it’s those found outside of the purist cocktail bars that end up being the most memorable. Take Brooklyn’s Locanda Vini i Olii in the heart of Clinton Hill, which features a menu…

Cocktail bartenders have a deep-rooted respect for tradition. Back when the only cocktails we had a taste for were Long Island iced teas and vodka tonics, bartenders needed to look back at what was done over 100 years prior before they could look forward. One of the first to show us the recipes, techniques and…

Much has been said on the beauty of the iconic balance of spirit, bitter and fortified wine that comprises the classic Negroni.

Many know the daiquiri and the Negroni well, but few would envision the two going together. And few did until the nearly forgotten Jungle Bird cocktail, a tiki drink hailing from a Kuala Lumpur hotel in the late 1970s, was rediscovered as a modern classic by New York City bartender Giuseppe Gonzalez. Combining rum, lime…

You’ve swilled Negronis and sipped Fernet with the best of them, but there is more to amari than meets the aperitif. The European herbal liqueurs that span centuries of (dubious) health claims are as varied as the continent itself. Here's some bitter truths: 1. What is the what: The term amari (amaro when singular) encompasses…

Whether ordered in a ritzy hotel lounge or at a beloved blue-collar bolthole, Negroni drinking in Rome never seems to disappoint. It is after all what the Bellini is to Venice, though its presentation varies; sometimes you find it served in a tumbler with a twist of orange, other moments it arrives to the table in highball…

Jeff Roberts dreamed up this spin on the classic Negroni during his tenure at now-closed Brooklyn restaurant Parrish Hall. Here's how to make it yourself.

The French call it apéritif and the Italians, aperitivo. Roughly translated, the term means "to open" or "opener" and refers to an alcoholic beverage that is meant as an appetizer. This tradition is one that I am particularly fond of, as it sets the scene perfectly for dinner. Apéritifs prepare diners for the delights that…

Happy hour often sounds better than it actually is. The connotation of clinking glasses, smiling done-with-work-for-the-day faces and, of course, downing cheap drinks is often dampened by the reality of watered-down cocktails, stinky wine/beer options and totalitarian restrictions on specials. Not so in Italy. The hour referred to as “aperitivo” here truly is the happiest…

One of the most notable drinks in current cocktail lexicon, the Negroni, was created when an Italian nobleman Count Negroni instructed his bartender to change his Americano by adding Gin and leaving out the soda. Here’s some background. As the Negroni has gained an incredible amount of recognition in recent years (ed. note: we devoted…

Three components—all equal parts—combine for the complex marriage that is the Negroni. Campari is the anchor.
