🍊 THE NEGRONI
A century ago in Florence, an Americano was transformed.
According to the enduring account, Count Camillo Negroni asked bartender Fosco Scarselli to strengthen his customary aperitivo by replacing the soda with gin. The bartender finished it with orange rather than lemon—and a legend entered the glass.
Today, the classic Negroni unites gin, Campari and sweet vermouth: juniper and strength, bitter orange and herbs, w**e and spice. Three distinct voices held together in remarkable balance.
Our version begins with Sapphire Gin, Campari and Martini Rosso sweet vermouth. The gin brings structure and botanical lift; Campari delivers its signature bitterness and citrus depth; Martini Rosso rounds the drink with rich w**e, herbs and spice.
We build it directly in a double rocks glass, stirring it over a large clear cube so the cocktail preserves its full body while evolving slowly as it chills and dilutes. An expressed orange peel releases bright citrus oils over the surface, while an orange slice rests inside the glass, adding another layer of aroma and color.
Experience the Negroni all weekend at Blackfish of Northport, featured with our chef’s special pairing.
We are also proud to announce that Blackfish Tavern will be a participating location for 🍊 Negroni Week 2026 🍊, September 21–27—Created by Imbibe Negroni Week brings thousands of bars and restaurants together to celebrate this iconic cocktail while supporting Slow Food.
A classic is not frozen in history. It becomes history every time it is made properly.
