Negroni # 93 - Tusk Social Bottle Aged Negroni

Tusk Social Bottled Negroni

We just can't wait to get our hands on this exciting new Negroni created by Kyle Francia in of all places Manilla. 

Kyle explains it is "Built around the philosophy of making the Negoni into an everyman’s drink and that simpler is always better"  He created the country's first bottled single-serve Negroni. "Its main function is to provide a simple cocktail for the uninitiated while still providing a great cocktail for those in the know to bring home (or around)." 

He says  "This is as classic as you're going to get: herbal and bittersweet, a bit on the spirit-forward side in some of the earlier bottlings. If aged (around 3 months or more), it blends and mellows together, allowing slight floral notes to come out. The Negroni is great either neat or on the rocks, though we like to have ours with a nice rock and garnished with an orange peel. What you do with your bottle is up to you."

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...

Conte-Negroni 400

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. A Brief History of the Negroni
General Pascal Olivier de Negroni de Cardi

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.
