A thorough look at a cocktail that seems simple (1-1-1 ratio of gin, Campari and sweet vermouth) but has myriad variations. Lovely photos of Italy, home of the Negroni, are interspersed with Negroni recipes and cocktails that are spins on or relatives of the Negroni. Includes just enough history and background to make the drinks more interesting, as well as closeup photos of the drinks themselves.

What a trip! This book is a beauty.
It tells the history of the drink loved by italians, the Negroni. A celebration of the drink itself and a guided tour through a number of unorthodox variations of the iconic original recipe (1 part bitter, 1 part sweet vermouth, 1 part gin garnished with orange) and the hotest places to taste them throughout Europe and the USA. Beautiful pictures and old fashioned advertising fill the pages with color and charm. The author even provides a guide of types of glassware and suggested snacks to enjoy this drink.
Is a must have in every mixology library and perfect for display in your home bar.
