Making a Negroni is simple and requires basic ingredients; this has led to a number of variations of the original cocktail. To help celebrate World Negroni Week in style, we asked Hemali Bendre, Assistant Bartender at The Bombay Canteen to share a couple of easy Negroni recipes with a twist on the classic. "Created in the year 1919, Negroni has been a favourite classic for many years. Although it is spirit forward, it's an easy drinking cocktail that is sweet, citrus, and bitter enough that you would love to order one more. It tastes best when served chilled and well balanced," said Hemali.
