We've all heard of the Negroni — the bright cocktail made with gin, sweet red vermouth and Campari — and its distant cousin cocktail the "Negroni sbagliato." Bars around the globe offer the original cocktail and plenty of variations — Dante, a New York City institution that's among the Top 50 World's Best Bars, even offers a full Negroni menu at its Caffe Dante location.

But where did the vibrant red drink come from? The Negroni's origin dates back to 1919, Olivia Cerio, Campari Group Italian spirits portfolio ambassador, tells USA TODAY in an emailed statement.
