Count Camillo Negroni is the inventor and the namesake of the most famous Italian cocktail. It is thanks to the research of some meticulous cocktail historians that we now know more about the origins of this drink. The recipe, originally mixed from three equal parts of gin, red vermouth and Campari, originated in the Florentine Café Casoni. The year of origin is believed to be 1919.
'
At the request of the Count, gin was added to the already known cocktail Americano. He himself was probably a great consumer of his own invention. It is said that he drank 20 Negronis a day. But the glasses in which this drink was served during Negroni's lifetime were probably much smaller.
The Italian count, who also worked as a cowboy in his younger years in the United States, did not live to see the global triumph of this cocktail. Since the 1950s, the Negroni has enjoyed growing popularity in international bars.
When this cocktail was first served at the Via de' Tornabuoni in Florence, the drink’s intense red coloring came from a pigment derived from crushed cochineal insects. Today, the most known Negroni ingredient uses artificial coloring to reproduce this dark red hue.
We don't like artificial ingredients in our drinks. On top of that, drinking insect secretions seems to have gone out of fashion. That's why we created this all-natural version of a Negroni cocktail for the friends of KW Berlin and Berlin Biennale.

Lisa Bauer
Distiller, Winemaker | Fehring, Styria
Lisa Bauer grew up in the Styrian volcanic region, the daughter of a winemaking family. The Bauers run a small mixed farm here, along with a “Buschenschank” tavern typical to the region, serving self-pressed wines and cold dishes.
Lisa received her initial training in the College of Viticulture Silberberg, Styria and later graduated with A-Levels and a Bachelor degree from the Federal College of Viticulture and Pomology in Klosterneuburg, near Vienna. In addition to studying viticulture and oenology, she has acquired extensive expertise in fruit processing, mashing and distillation. She had already been familiar with distilling since her childhood, when the homegrown fruits of the family farm would be distilled in a small 90-liter pot still.
As an intern at a Mallorcan wine estate, Lisa learned to make gin in the associated distillery. Following her apprenticeship, she was employed as a distiller in a big distillery, which processed up to 2 million kilos of pears, plums and apricots annually. In 2016, she worked at a winery in Casablanca, Chile and in a bodega in Argentina. There she was involved in setting up the new Casa Tapaus distillery, which distilled the pomace of the winery for grappa, and she was also responsible for the development of its first gin.
At the end of that year, Lisa returned to Austria and founded her own gin brand. She wants, as she emphasizes, “to distill opulent gins that stay in your memory. Lots of juniper and many botanicals should create a complex taste pattern.”
Due to her excellent education and many years of experience, Lisa Bauer is already a true connoisseur of aromas and herbs. She creates recipes like a perfumier, planning in advance exactly which aromas and drugs are needed for the perfect composition.
For Freimeisterkollektiv, Lisa developed her first vermouth.
