Birth of a Cocktail: Barrel-Aged Negroni

If you’ve ever wondered who’s responsible for the barrel-aged cocktail trend, step inside Clyde Common. There you’ll likely spot the bartender Jeffrey Morgenthaler, who served up his first barrel-aged Negroni back in 2009. It’s still on the menu. If you’re in luck, it’ll be joined on the list by a barrel-aged brother, sometimes a Chrysanthemum, other times an El Presidente.
