The Negroni was invented at Cafe Cassoni in Florence Italy around 1919. Legend has it that Count Camillio Negroni asked his friend the bartender Fosco Scarselli to spike his Americano cocktail with an ounce of Gin and to take out the soda water. Then shortly thereafter whenever anyone would order an Americano (Then all the rage) they would ask for it “The Negroni Way” The Family was quick to capitalize on the success of the cocktail, founding the Negroni distillery in 1919 in Treviso Italy where they produced a ready-made version of the drink.
