Bartender's Tip

The small gin pour is structural, not decorative — it keeps the drink from turning syrupy. Don't leave it out.

A Little History

Published by Lucano 1894, the Basilicata house founded by pastry chef Pasquale Vena in Pisticci. Swapping most of the gin for amaro turns the Negroni from a botanical bitter into a softer, spice-and-caramel drink.
