| There is an alternative theory regarding the origin of the Negroni Cocktail. This theory attributes the invention to General Pascal Olivier de Negroni, Count de Negroni. This theory appears in two published sources. The first source is "A Corse Matin" Sunday Edition article dated 2 February 1980.<ref></ref> The second source is an article published in the New Hampshire Union leader on 19 June 2014. A translation of the Corse Matin article states:<ref></ref> | |||
| {{quotation|A Corsican Cocktail?<br /> | |||
| Was the Negroni, a classic cocktail, created by a Capcorsin? It seems so. This would be the General Pascal Negroni native Rogliano, who had the idea of this divine mixture (1/3 Gin 1/3 Vermouth, 1/3 Campari). This happened in Paris at the military officers' club of St. Augustine, on the eve of the Great War. Your health before the grape shot!}} | |||
| The Negroni ''sbagliato'' is made in the same way as the Negroni, but replacing the gin with sparkling white wine, or Prosecco.<ref>http://www.campari.com/int/en/cocktails/list/negroni-sbagliato/</ref> | |||
| == Variations == | |||
| ''']''' - 1 oz Campari, 1 oz Sweet Red Vermouth, a splash of soda<br /> | |||
| '''Slovakian Negroni''' - use Tatratea 37% Hibiscus & Red Tea instead of Campari and add a splash of soda<br /> | |||
| '''Whisky Negroni''' - substitute Canadian Rye Whisky for gin | |||
