Where does negroni come from?
Borrowed from Italian negroni, from surname Italian Negroni, from Italian negri (“black”) + Italian -oni (“(ablative) from, of”). The origin of the drink's name is disputed. The drink is most often said to be named after Count Camillo Negroni (1868–1934), who asked for an early form of this cocktail.
