Negroni: A Love Affair with a Classic Cocktail

You know a drink is good when it comes with a free legend. The legend in this case is that one dark and stormy night, an Italian count was drinking americanos when he asked the bartender to replace the soda water with gin. How did it turn out? Well the name of that count was Camillo Negroni and as of that night he joined the Earl of Sandwich and Louis de Béchamel in rarified air. In this ode to the Negroni cocktail, author Matt Hranek offers an assortment of curated recipes, variations deviations, and more reinterpretations than you can, er, count.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
