Ah, the Americano– the inspiration for the Negroni.

I particularly enjoy the Negoni in the summertime, but the lovely, bitter bite of Campari definitely makes this a love-it-or-leave-it cocktail. BTW, drop the gin, put the drink in a Collins glass , add ice and top off with soda and you have yourself an Americano-a most refreshing highball.

If you are looking for the *exact* same glassware as featured on Mad Men, search for Dorothy Thorpe silver rimmed roly-poly glasses.

I don’t know that I’d add vodka either– apparently that’s called a “Negroski”. Cute name, not sure I’d drink it, either.

Adding some soda to a Negroni does sound quite tasty and refreshing. As for a vodka for gin substitution, I’d vote no. Gin adds so much to the flavor profile of this drink. Were you to use vodka it would lose much of the character.
