History

For Negroni fans seeking depth, complexity, and refinement.

This cocktail is adapted from a recipe created in 2012 by Jason O'Bryan at URBN restaurant in North Park, San Diego, California. It was inspired by The Violet Hour's Autumn Negroni. The name of this cocktail is derived from a lyric in the song Cassandra Gemini, featured on the album Frances the Mute by The Mars Volta.
