With so much uncertainty this year, it is more important than ever to focus on the smaller things that bring joy into our daily lives. It can be comforting to turn to the things in life that remain consistent – like the classic Negroni cocktail.
 A long enduring favorite of cocktail drinkers around the world, this Italian cocktail staple is proving to be the go-to at-home tipple as we move into the cooler autumn months. With the recent uptick in this classic cocktail’s popularity, below are a few Negroni variations.

In 1919, Count Camillo Negroni famously invented the Negroni in Florence, Italy, when asking his bartender to stiffen his Americano by replacing the soda water with gin. A century later the essential aperitif is beloved by drinkers around the world.
The popular beverage gained notoriety earlier this year with actor Stanley Tucci’s iconic signature Negroni video tutorial that became a viral sensation. His expertly perfected Negroni recipe was just as fun to watch him craft as I’m sure it was to drink. Like Tucci, many have utilized their newly found quarantine free time as an excuse to brush up on their bartending skills, and The Negroni is a must try.

Below are two Negroni recipes, both classic and innovative, to celebrate the beginning of autumn. With so many people remaining at home in an effort to social distance, the ingredients for the classic Negroni are now available for purchase in a convenient bundle through ReserveBar, to be delivered straight to your doorstep.
