Negroni
Makes 4 drinks
The Negroni, along with Prosecco and the Aperol Cocktail (Aperol and white wine), is a perennial favorite along the bar at Sant’ Ambroeus and thousands of other pasticcerie and enoteche (pastry shops and wine shops) in Milano at cocktail hour. These colorful drinks are usually accompanied by salatini, small plates that arrive with the cocktails and include an assortment of miniature puff pastries studded with parmegiano for salame, crostini, or other salty tidbits. Cincin!
