If someone asked me to sum up daily, routine life in NYC in a picture, this is one I would personally choose: a cup of coffee at a local diner.

I'm preparing to celebrate the end of the year with a relaxing and enjoyable night at home...
The origin of this iconic drink is said to date back to Florence in 1919, when Count Camillo Negroni asked the bartender Fosco Scarselli at the iconic Caffè Giocosa, to strengthen his favorite drink, the Americano, with a shot of gin in place of the usual soda water.
Ingredients
1 ounce (30 ml) gin
1 ounce (30 ml) Campari
1 ounce (30 ml) red, semi-sweet Vermouth (aka Vermouth Rosso)
Ice
Slice of orange or a sliver of orange peel for garnish
Preparation
1. Fill a low tumbler with ice until it is ¾ full.
2. Add the gin, Campari, and Vermouth to the tumbler.
3. Stir until combined and well-chilled.
4. Garnish with a slice of orange (as it is served in Italy), or with a sliver of orange peel (as it is served outside of Italy).
