Smoky Negroni
Some people contend that the Negroni cocktail dates back to Florence in the 1920s, when the flamboyant count and noted tippler Camillo Negroni requested a splash of gin with his Americano. Others say the drink has been around as long as the Americano. Neither matters as much as the taste of it, and variations are always welcome. DW Bistro has created a smoky twist on this classic cocktail, and chef Dalton Wilson recommends enjoying it with a “cocktail caviar” made of apple.
