Back in 2013 I kicked off 100 Negronis, chasing down and mixing up one hundred different takes on my favorite cocktail. Four years later I hit the milestone… and hit pause.

Fast-forward to this September: my longtime blogging home, Typepad, suddenly announced it was shutting down in 30 days. Twenty years of posts—gone, just like that. Ouch.

But here’s the twist: losing Typepad gave me the push to bring 100 Negronis back to life on WordPress. And this time, I’m not stopping at a hundred.

Here I am with my favorite cocktail partner, Nell Conway, raising a glass at the great cocktail bar Odd Sister in New York City. Smiles, Negronis, Boulevardiers and more with plenty more bar-hopping adventures ahead.
