Negroni

//nəˈɡɹoʊni// noun

Definitions

Noun
  1. 1
    A cocktail consisting of gin, Campari and vermouth, usually in equal parts.

    "The main item on the agenda was alcohol, not food. [Gavin] Ewart began with several negronis (gin, vermouth, Campari), which is not an amateur’s drink, and carried on from there."

Etymology

Borrowed from Italian negroni, from surname Italian Negroni, from Italian negri (“black”) + Italian -oni (“(ablative) from, of”). The origin of the drink's name is disputed, most often attributed to being named after Count Camillo Negroni (1868–1934), who asked for an early form of this cocktail.
