Classic Negroni Cocktail

by Lynne Webb on February 17, 2014 (Updated October 5, 2021) // Leave a Comment

The Negroni is a classic cocktail made with sweet vermouth, gin, and Campari, Italy's most popular aperitif.

Classic Negroni garnished with orange.

Originally developed by Gaspare Campari in 1860 to serve in his Milan café, Campari is a proprietary infusion of aromatics, herbs, and fruits.

It is Italy’s most popular aperitif, and its distinctive taste and vivid color make it a favorite for creating both classic and contemporary cocktails. Here is a recipe for the Classic Negroni and its most popular variation, The Americano. Both include sweet vermouth, and while any brand will do, if you want to stay authentic, pick up a bottle of Cinzano Rosso.

If you enjoy Campari, try it combined with limoncello and mix up a Campari Limoncello Spritzer
