03History

Printed in the 1988 Mr. Boston guide, buried for decades until Regan surfaced it — tequila + Campari + both vermouths + bitters, a Negroni structure nobody asked for and everyone needed.

It answers what the Negroni would taste like if it had grown up in Jalisco instead of Florence.

Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
