Negroni # 16 "Bottled Champagne Negroni" by Naren Young, Saxon and Parole NYC

Saxon and Parole Bottled NegroniIn Italy they call sparkling Negronis, Negroni Sbagliato, and make it with Prosecco.

Saxon and Parole has their own special version of everything they make and this one made with Champagne is a delightful refreshment.

The Gin: Good Old Beefeater

The Vermouth: Replaced with Champagne

The Amaro: Campari

More:  Bottled like Soda for Fun

Saxon and Parole is one of our favorite NY bars and as a restaurant, enjoyed many a great cocktail and meal there

 

We liked this take on the Negroni that is a variation on Negroni Sbagliato. In Italian Sbagliato means "messed up" or "mistaken." The drink came about when  a bartender of the famed Bar Basso in Milan grabbed the prosecco instead of the gin. The rest is history. Bon Apettite

If you are lucky you might be there on a night when they have Negronis on tap. Currently it looks like they have Manhattans on tap, which are quite good as well

A Fascinating Story

  • The history of the Negroni is uncertain, but we have researched it well. Not just where it began, but how this exemplary cocktai has emerged over almost 100 years to become the wildly popular drink that is today...

Count Camillo Negroni

  • As to its origin, the most prevalent story is that it was first created in Florence, Italy in 1919, at Caffè Casoni, an antique shop/bar, (think Il Buco) where now Caffè Giacosa is found. As the story goes Count Camillo Negroni asked bartender Fosco Scarselli to strengthen his favorite cocktail, the Americano, by adding gin instead of the typical soda water. Fosco distinguished the drink with an orange garnish rather than the typical lemon. The Whole Story is Here- New Evidence: The Real Count Camillo Negroni

Count Pascal Olivier Negroni

  • Of course like most tales in Italy there is another version of the story. In his one it is told that the drink was invented in 1857 in the West African country of Senegal by Corsican General Pascal Olivier de Negroni. They say he created a drink to aide his new wife’s digestion lifting the drink to toast to her health on their wedding day. Negroni family lays claim to namesake cocktail

    Sorry Pascal, with no disrespect, we are going with the Italian Count Camillo version.
