Welcome to Cheers to That where we dive deep into the mysterious, beloved, and often debated world of the Negroni. 🍸 This cocktail may seem simple—just gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth—but there’s a whole lot more to it than meets the eye! From its legendary origins in Italy to the heated debates over shaking vs. stirring, we’re covering it all.
Discover the Negroni's storied past, the passionate opinions surrounding it, and the many surprising variations—like the lighter Negroni Sbagliato and the rich, cozy Boulevardier. We’ll even explore how this three-ingredient classic has evolved into a playground for cocktail experimentation, and why people are so fiercely divided over its perfect execution.
So, whether you’re a Negroni newbie or a seasoned enthusiast, this deep dive will make you see the drink in a whole new light. 🍊 Got your own Negroni twist? Let us know in the comments and maybe we’ll feature your recipe next time!
