Celebrate Negroni Week!
Summer is time for classic cocktails! The week of June 1st to the 7th is Negroni week. It's a classic Italian cocktail that has Campari as an ingredient. I even love the name Campari it is reminiscent of a classic era and you can picture Cary Grant sitting along the Amalfi coast with a Campari and soda for sure! What's even better is bartenders nation wide who participate get money toward their favorite charity next week and as Martha Stewart always says."It's A Good Thing"!Bartenders, bakers, chefs and Negroni fans alike are getting ready to drink (or eat) for a cause from June 1 – June 7. Negroni Week is a weeklong celebration that takes place across the country where $1 of every Negroni – or Negroni item – sold gets donated to that participating bar’s charity of choice. They had over 1,300 bars participate last year and hope to exceed that number this year!
Also DryWellArt has created a great piece of art in honor of the week and it would be so much fun to have in any bar area. Check out their site for more fun art ideas!
Here is a lovely way to set up Summer bar and some great recipes too! Have a lovely weekend.
