Born in Italy, the Negroni is a twist on the "Americano" cocktail. While the Americano had soda water, the Negroni packs a bigger punch by using gin instead. It also has an orange peel to complement the flavors. It's named after Count Camillo Negroni, who first requested the drink (when he wanted something more booze-infused than his usual Americano). You can make a "Tegroni" by substituting tequila for the gin.
