With VinePair's Negroni Knockout in full swing, Adam, Joanna, and Zach discuss the evolution of the cocktail in the American consciousness, and the American cocktail scene over the last couple of decades, and try to figure out if the drink is tied to the classic recipe and ratio or whether it now exists more as a general mood or category of drinks. Plus, a rant against tap cocktails!
