• I made Negroni cocktails using recipes from famous chefs Guy Fieri, Rachael Ray, Marcus Samuelsson, and Valerie Bertinelli.
• Fieri's and Bertinelli's recipes were too bitter for my liking, but they're sure to be hits for those who like their drinks not-so-sweet.
• Samuelsson's Negroni was the most time-consuming to make, but the bourbon element of it was pretty tasty.
• Ray's Negroni was my favorite because it felt unique and refreshing with its sweet, citrus-forward flavors.

Nothing elevates dinner like a classic Negroni.

Dating back to 1919, this cocktail features a bold, complex flavor that is best reserved for sophisticated taste palettes.

Although the blend of sweet and bitter isn't for everyone, many of us jumped on the Negroni bandwagon when actor Stanley Tucci mixed one up in his own kitchen and shared it with the world.

But Tucci isn't the only high-profile person with a famous Negroni recipe.

In fact, many celebrity chefs, including Guy Fieri, Rachael Ray, Marcus Samuelsson, and Valerie Bertinelli, have put their own twists on this classic drink.

I decided to give them all a whirl to find which Negroni recipe you should serve at your next dinner party. (Or, honestly, which Negroni you'll want to sip while you lounge on the couch and watch "The Devil Wears Prada").
