Bought this to give my partner as a Christmas gift, and decided to quick read it before I wrapped it up for him. (Shh, don't tell him! 😅)

A quick read, full of gorgeous photographs, and quite a few interesting spins on the negroni. I know I'll be trying my hand at Il Profesore, for sure!

What a trip! This book is a beauty.
It tells the history of the drink loved by italians, the Negroni. A celebration of the drink itself and a guided tour through a number of unorthodox variations of the iconic original recipe (1 part bitter, 1 part sweet vermouth, 1 part gin garnished with orange) and the hotest places to taste them throughout Europe and the USA. Beautiful pictures and old fashioned advertising fill the pages with color and charm. The author even provides a guide of types of glassware and suggested snacks to enjoy this drink.
Is a must have in every mixology library and perfect for display in your home bar.
