Negroni

Campari - the key to the success of this cocktail on the basis of gin. It can be consumed as an appetizer. He has such an unusual flavor that appeals to many people, but many hate it. It is believed that this drink was prepared and named after Count Camillo Negroni, a Florentine aristocrat, who has ordered in the bar Cafe Casoni in Florence cocktail "American" and asked to go to add the gin. That was in 1919. However, the cocktail has got this name only in 1947 .
