The Negroni was born in Florence in 1919 when Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender to strengthen his Americano by replacing the soda with gin. The mini version honors this storied Italian aperitivo while embracing the modern trend toward smaller serves. Featured prominently in London's cocktail scene and at Negroni Week tastings worldwide, the Mini Negroni proves that bold flavors need no amplification—just perfect balance. The concentrated format is ideal for pre-dinner stimulation without overwhelming the palate.
