ON THE BAR * NEGRONI WEEK – END

I’ve never had a Negroni Cocktail (but love all things Italian) so Negroni Week seemed like a good time to try one. It’s a classic 3 ingredient cocktail that is technically and aperitif and meant to be enjoyed before the meal. Don’t let the bright fun color fool you, this drink is extra boozy and definitely an acquired taste.
Negroni Week is from June 2-8, and bars around the world are mixing up their favorite Negroni cocktails and donating a portion of the proceeds from each one sold to a charity of their choice. View the full list of bars and restaurants here, and hit the town this weekend for a Negroni!

Classic Negroni Recipe

1 ounce Campari
1 ounce sweet vermouth
1 ounce gin – I used Plymouth
Flamed orange peel for garnish or a plain orange peel will work too.

Combine all of the ingredients in a glass with ice and stir. To finish, run the flamed orange peel around the edge of the glass, lightly squeezing to express the orange peel over the glass, drop it in, and Enjoy!
