The Negroni :: Italy on the Rocks
It's official, today marks the start of summer. And with it, ushers in a whole fresh crop of cool cocktails for hot weather...oh yes, I'm excited! Summer 2011 is officially the summer of the Negroni, as noted by last month's Manhattan Cocktail Classic and my good friend and Italian-inspired mixologist and sommelier Joe Campanale (his restaurants, L'Artusi, dell'anima and Anfora are among my fave Italian spots in the city). An old-school Italian classic (and my dad's summer sipper of choice), the Negroni brings together the herbal notes of Campari and gin, with a refreshing touch of citrus. Makes you feel like you're in Roma leisurely relaxing in the Piazza de Spagna right off the Spanish Steps.
My personal go-to summer cocktail is the Aperol spritz, which conjures up visions of Capri and the cerulean blue waters of the Amalfi coast. I haven't been back in 11 years, but a girl can dream can't she? Orangey-herbal aperitif + prosecco...bellissima!
Here's to a fantastic summer of cocktail sipping, wherever you draw your inspiration from, salute!

The incredible aspect of the Negroni that not everyone understands is that it works every time, no matter what brands of gin or sweet vermouth you use.
