📜 History

Vincenzo Errico created the Enzoni in 2001 while bartending at Match Bar in London. 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 developing this modern classic. The name is a portmanteau combining his nickname Enzo with Negroni. He later moved to Milk & Honey in New York City, where the drink gained wider recognition. The Enzoni showcases how fresh fruit can transform classic bitter cocktails, and it has inspired countless grape-based variations at bars worldwide.
