An integral part of a typical Italian’s day, aside from the numerous shots of strong coffee of course, is the aperitivo. One of the most famous drinks enjoyed as an aperitivo is the Negroni cocktail: now consumed worldwide, this famous Italian drink had its beginnings right here in beautiful Florence.
And if there is one place to drink a Negroni, it's at the Irene Bar of Hotel Savoy.
"Campari, Rosso Martini vermouth and Tanqueray gin" are the secret ingredients used by Federico Galli, our Head Bar Man, to create this iconic concoction. Aglow in a tumbler around an oversized ice cube, the orange essential oils add lightness to the viscosity of this perfect drink as the vermouth kicks its way through the throat.
Now, slip slowly whilst enjoying one of Italy's greatest pastimes: people-watching in Piazza della Repubblica.
