Classic Negroni: Try this retro cocktail for your next happy hour!

Classic Negroni Cocktail The classic Negroni is one of those cocktails that I’ve always heard of but didn’t know what it tasted like. It’s kind of in the Manhattan and Martini family, except what the heck is Campari anyway? I read the wikipedia page and found out that it’s a bitter liqueur that gets its flavor from fruit including chinotto and cascarilla. Oh, of course! I knew I tasted a note of cascarilla… OK, seriously, I have no idea what Campari tastes like even after drinking it, but I do know that this classic Negroni was a tasty and very drinkable cocktail for my happy hour pleasure. It’s also extremely easy to make, which makes it just about perfect if you ask me. Plus, drinking a classic drink makes me feel way cooler than the 30-something, stay-at-home mom that I am. I’ll toast to that!

      Thank you, Liz! You should definitely get some Campari, and we can both pretend we’re very sophisticated until someone yells “Mommy” and ruins the moment ;) Cheers!
