📜 History

Vincenzo Errico created the Enzoni at Milk & Honey in New York City around 2003. The cocktail brilliantly hybridizes a Negroni with a gin sour, adding muddled fresh grapes for a fruity dimension. Errico, an Italian bartender, drew on his heritage while working within the creative environment of Sasha Petraske's legendary bar. The name "Enzoni" is a portmanteau combining "Enzo" (a common Italian name and Errico's personal connection) with "Negroni." The drink showcases how fresh fruit can transform classic bitter cocktails, and it has inspired countless grape-based variations at bars worldwide.
