With its signature red color, ice cubes, and twist of orange, the Negroni is the star of the aperitivo hour on Florence’s most elegant tables. A true icon of Italian cocktail culture, the Negroni was born in Florence in 1919, winning hearts with its perfect balance and precise recipe: equal parts gin, Campari, and vermouth. As purists say: “No Negroni without Campari.”
Now reimagined in modern variations like the Sbagliato or Boulevardier, this scarlet elixir will be celebrated during Negroni Week from September 22 to 28. Here’s everything you need to know—plus the best Paris addresses to sip one in style.
