What is a Negroni?

The Negroni is a timeless cocktail that combines equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, stirred over ice and finished with an orange twist. Known for its balance of bitter, sweet, and herbal flavors, it’s become a favorite for both casual drinkers and cocktail enthusiasts. Originating in Italy in the early 20th century, the Negroni has inspired countless variations around the world — like the Oaxacan Nights Negroni — proving that this classic is endlessly versatile while still unmistakably iconic.
