📜 History

The Negroni has inspired countless spirit swaps since its creation in Florence around 1919. Bartenders in Scandinavia and the United States began substituting aquavit for gin to give the equal-parts classic an earthy, caraway-laced character. Portland bartender Jacob Grier popularized the combination and it has since become one of the most recommended entry points for aquavit cocktails.
