Legend has it that one day in Florence, Italy the cocktail was given life. It was the year 1919 when Count Camilo Negroni walked into Caffe Casoni requesting a spin on the classic cocktail the Americano. The original cocktail called for 1 part Campari, 1 part sweet vermouth and 1 part soda water with a lemon slice. Camilo made the *subtle* change from soda water to gin and the rest is history. The Negroni still stands as one of the more sought-after and popular drinks throughout the world.
