THE TRUE STORY OF NEGRONI
On this drink, as on many others, different stories about birth are told. The best-known story of the Negroni tells that a barman from a well-known restaurant in Florence replaced gin with soda to remind Count Negroni of his travels to England.
In reality, the choice was not so trivial as the count had a very specific reason to increase the alcoholic dose of the drink. In fact, it used to consume several Americans and to be able to lower the consumption of alcoholic drinks he was advised by a close friend to increase the alcoholic dose in drinks..
