A history of one of the world's most iconic cocktails—originally an Italian aperitivo , but now a staple of craft bar programs everywhere—with 60 recipes for variations and contemporary updates. The Negroni is one of the simplest and most elegant drink formulas around: combine one part gin, one part sweet vermouth, and one part Campari, then stir and serve over ice. This bitter, sweet, and smooth drink has inspired countless variations as well as legions of diehard aficionados. In The Negroni , Gary Regan—barman extraordinaire and author of the iconic book The Joy of Mixology— delves into the drink's fun, fascinating history (its origin story is still debated, with battling Italian noblemen laying claim) and provides techniques for modern updates (barrel aging and carbonation among them). Sixty delightfully varied and uniformly tasty recipes round out this spirited collection, which is a must-have for any true cocktail enthusiast. Review: Great guide to innovative cocktails - This is a wonderful book about not just the classic Negroni cocktail, but other cocktails made from Italian bitter liqueurs such as Campari, Fernet Branca and Cynar. The author gives you the historical background of the Negroni, probably over a hundred recipes for cocktails and lots of beautiful photos. We're in the golden age of cocktails and this book will show you how to prepare fun new drinks. Many of the drinks use Campari, which you can find at any liquor store. The book has inspired me to search my local liquor stores for the less well known liqueurs such as Cynar and Fernet Branca. Cheers! Review: The love for Negroni's - In general, this book is superb and serves as an ideal addition to any coffee table collection. As a dedicated Negroni enthusiast, I found it particularly enlightening to explore the various iterations of this classic cocktail.

Sehr schöne Rezepte und neue Ideen. Mein Mann war ganz begeistert und hat schon viele Rezepte ausprobiert. Manche sehr gut, manche nicht so. Aber ich denke dass es halt so ist wenn man negroni mag :)
