📜 History

The Scotch Negroni is a modern variation on the classic Negroni cocktail invented in Florence around 1919 by Count Camillo Negroni. By substituting Scotch whisky for the traditional gin, the drink trades floral and juniper notes for the warming, complex character of Scotch, which interacts with Campari's bitterness in a completely different way. The result is sometimes also called a Scotch Boulevardier, though purists distinguish between the two based on spirit choice. The variation has gained steady popularity as Scotch-based riffs on gin classics have grown fashionable.
