This cocktail started life in 2019 as the centennial Wessex version of the world-famous drink originally created in 1919 for a Mr Camillo Negroni by Fosco Scarselli at Caffe Casoni, Florence.

Loved by such wonderful people as Ernest Hemingway, Orson Welles, Enzo Apicella and the late lamented Anthony Bourdain, this cocktail has had many variations in its constituent alcoholic content. 

The Wessex version finally saw the light of day in late 2019 - one hundred years after its creation in Italy and after hours of very messy tastings by our wonderful team of volunteers in Wiltshire, Dorset and Gloucestershire.

The final edition contains equal measures of Ramsbury gin from Wiltshire (40% abv), Bramley & Gage Sweet Vermouth from Gloucestershire (18% abv) and Campari (25% abv) producing a wonderful cocktail with an abv of 27.7%. 

If you buy at any of the markets we attend and bring back the empty bottle we will give you a shiny £1 coin......

If you prefer vodka to gin then The Wessex Negroni No.2 was designed for you

As at January 2025, there are just two selected places in Wiltshire where you can drink the Wessex Negroni. 

But we are out looking to increase coverage!

Just click on the name to where they are and all about them

The Swan Inn at Wilton (Near Marlborough)

The Seven Stars at Bottlesford
