Negroni#99 Frozen Negronis are Hot This Summer

Jane Frye of Tasting Table reports, in Italian Job Frozen Negronis are this summer's frosé — "Walk into any bar or restaurant these days, and you're likely to spot someone sipping a bright-red Negroni. The Italian aperitif's mix of gin, vermouth and Campari make it the perfect classic cocktail for easing into (or out of) the night—and people can't seem to get enough." More

Negroni's were super hot a few summers ago, and they seem to have dropped out of favor. But it looks like frozen version has got Negronis back into the limelight.

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

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.
