Horses aren’t the only ones off and running during Derby week. There’s also plenty of competition among Louisville’s cocktail shakers. Leave it to Iron Bartender winner Jennifer Pittman of Proof on Main to get into the race with her own entry: a bourbon Negroni, sired by the enduring Italian aperitif.
Traced to Count Camillo Negroni of Florence, the traditional Negroni is a bracing ruby-toned concoction of Campari, gin, and sweet vermouth. But with Pittman’s swap of bourbon, it loses its trademark astringency, becoming a little warmer to the taste more relaxed, more Southern.
