Negroni Week 2017, Crudo

Mark you calendars now for June 5th-11th for Negroni Week and make plans to visit your favorite participating bar.

What is Negroni Week? Presented by Imbibe Magazine and Campari, the annual worldwide event raises money from a portion of Negroni sales during the week. Last year over $400,000 was raised. Negroni Week started in 2013 with 100 participants and now has over 6,000 participating bars and restaurants worldwide.

What is a Negroni?

Campari is the signature ingredient in a Negroni.  The cocktail is considered an aperitif, a cocktail traditionally served before the start of a meal to stimulate the appetite.

Classic Negroni

1 oz Gin
1 oz Campari
1 oz Sweet Vermouth
garnish with orange peel

How to participate?

Go to your favorite participating restaurant or bar (or try a new one) and order a Negroni or Negroni-inspired cocktail from the list and a percentage of the sale will be donated to a charity. The bars and restaurants choose the charity from the list put together by Campari and Imbibe.
