Negroni Recipe

Cocktail snobs have a bad habit of using the negroni as the threshold through which all drinkers must pass before they can be considered true connoisseurs. Theres an element of truth to this view; the balance of flavors requires an experienced tongue to appreciate. But make no mistake it is a very bitter drink, and its not for everyone. Some folks have a genetic variation which allows them to taste bitter compounds, while other people dont. Those who can are called supertasters, and its likely that no amount of epicurean taste-acquiring can make this drink palatable to those so afflicted.
