Created in the 1950s at The Excelsior Hotel , Rome, Italy, by Giovanni Raimondo. This, like the original recipe, uses Cardinale using a German Riesling Kabinett White Wine, instead of the dry vermouth that may use today (which would actually make it a Dry Negoni).

 30 ml London Dry Gin
 30 ml Campari
 30 ml German Riesling
 Orange wheel for garnish
1

Half-fill a mixing jug with ice.

2

Add all ingredients and gently stir until chilled.

3

Strain into a tumbler over a fresh block of ice.

4

Garnish with an orange wheel.

AI generated anecdote for article length

Two friends, let's call them Alice and Bob, were in Rome for the weekend. They had been planning this trip for months, and they were finally here. They had been walking around all day, exploring the city, and they were starting to get tired. They decided to find a bar and have a drink.

They found a small bar that looked cozy and inviting. The bar was located in Trastevere, a historic neighborhood known for its narrow streets and lively nightlife. They sat down at a table and ordered a Cardinale. The Cardinale is a negroni variant made with London Dry Gin, Campari, and German Riesling Kabinett.

As they sipped their drinks, they talked about their day. They talked about the sights they had seen, the food they had eaten, and the people they had met. They also talked about their lives back home.

After a while, they started to feel more relaxed. The Cardinale was a delicious drink, and it was helping them to unwind. They talked for hours, and by the time they finished their drinks, they felt like they had known each other for years.

They left the bar feeling refreshed and invigorated. They were glad that they had found this little bar, and they were even more glad that they had tried the Cardinale. It was the perfect drink to end a perfect day in Rome.
