Cocktail history: Iconic drinks linked to specific cities

Certain cocktails are deeply intertwined with the history and identity of specific cities. In Florence, the Negroni remains a staple, originating from a 1919 legend where bartender Fosco Scarselli modified an Americano for Count Camillo Negroni by replacing soda water with gin.

In Lima, the Pisco Sour serves as a national classic. These drinks often carry historical narratives, whether linked to famous writers like Ernest Hemingway or created by bartenders seeking to adapt recipes for specific social contexts.
