The Negroni is a classic Italian cocktail that was first created at the Caffe Casoni in Florence in 1919. My version is my take on the classic. I add fresh orange juice and club soda. For me the addition of these two ingredients lighten up this cocktail a little for the warm summer months, making this the perfect drink to unwind with in the warm Tuscan sun.
