Orson Welles and the Negroni. An Appreciation of the Man and the Drink.
"The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you," said iconic director Orson Welles while working on a film in Rome in 1947. "They balance each other," he remarked, and indeed, balance is the operative word in the Italian aperitivo called Negroni (nay-GROW-nee).
The Negroni is among the most classic drinks of all time, earning its place in the cocktail canon with its simple but iconic construction of one part gin, one part vermouth rosso, and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel.
To honor the Centennial of the birth of Maestro Welles, these indulgent pieces have been crafted in nearly one pound of handsomely-designed glass, in appreciation of both the man and the drink. The fit and finish are superb and they feel absolutely perfect in your hand. Each glass combines elegance, pleasure and function. Offered in a Gift Box of 2, for keeping or giving.
