A rye whisky twist on the classic Negroni cocktail--drier instead of sweet. Harry MacElhone of Harry's Bar in Paris credited his “old pal" with the inspiration for this deliciously friendly drink.
This classic cocktail was first served in creator Gaspare Campari's bar, Caffè Campari, in the 1860s. The Americano is refreshing with a light and bitter taste.
Although we don't know for sure the origin of this drink it's said to be traced back to a little cafe in Florence, Italy. The Negroni is essentially a stronger version of the classic Americano.The gin mixed with Campari and vermouth combine for a robust herbal flavor perfect for sipping.
This cocktail is a twist on the classic negroni. The only difference in the two is the maple syrup that has been added and of course the bacon garnish. This is a great cocktail to make for Campari beginners because it balances the bitterness.
