negroni

English

A negroni cocktail

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.
