Negroni #97 Here Comes Summer

Here Comes Summer Negroni

I created this hybrid Negroni for a welcome to summer gathering hosted by our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm, Longhaul in Garrison.  I needed an easy and portable cocktail to celebrate summer.  

The ingredients here include our ever favorite Cocchi Americano sweet white vermouth and a new discovery, Amaro Rosso Di Sicilia a wonderful Amaro made with blood orange and herbs which are: 

"“Farm to Bottle” a term that has become commonplace in our growing Spirits portfolio, and AMARA is no exception. This artisanal liqueur is produced on-site in Sicily from hand-picked blood orange peels and herbs. " Skurnik Wines Importer

Recommended by one of the many knowledgeable staff at Mid Valley Wine & Liquors in Newburgh, NY.

I mixed the ingredients 2 parts vermouth, 1 part amaro, 1/2 part vodka, but gin would do very well, in a shaker then poured in four small capped mini beer mugs, added the sliced strawberries and lemon, then placed them in the freezer to marinate for an hour or two.

The result was amazing!

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.
