It’s Negroni Week! Celebrate With These 10 Irresistible Cocktails
This week is Negroni Week, also known as our annual excuse to over-indulge in our favorite Campari-based cocktail. Restaurants and bars across America will be participating in Negroni Week by shaking up their best Negroni — as well as many inventive variations on the classic — and a portion of the profit of each one will be donated to a charity of establishments' choice. To find out which bars near you are participating, you can see the full list here. Alternatively, you can celebrate from the comfort of your own home with these 10 Campari cocktail recipes.
Americano
The Americano cocktail is often referred to as a Negroni without the hangover. Campari is mixed with sweet vermouth and soda water for a low-proof, crisp, and refreshing drink choice.
Beet Negroni
Add an even more grownup, earthy taste (and a deeper color), to your Negroni by exchanging standard gin for a homemade, beet-infused gin.
Chocolate Negroni
Adding a dash of crème de cacao and chocolate mole bitters to a Negroni softens the bitterness of the cocktail, and makes it perfect for everybody with a sweet tooth.
Classic Negroni
Sometimes, there's nothing better than the classic. This traditional Negroni recipe is exactly what all you cocktail purists are looking for.
Kingston Negroni
Add a tropical Jamaican touch to your Italian Negroni by exchanging the gin with aged Jamaican rum.
Korean Hwayo Negroni
By swapping gin for the Korean spirit soju, you'll be giving this classic cocktail a modern, Asian twist. A hint of sweetness is also added by mixing the Campari with its gentler, less bold relation, Aperol.
Negroni ‘On Tap’
Make this traditional Negroni in big batches and pour out into ice-filled glasses to entertain a crowd. Don't forget to garnish every drink with an orange twist to add a hint of citrusy, fruity flavor.
Negroni Sbagliato
Lighten up a classic Negroni by swapping the potent gin for gently bubbling Prosecco. This makes for a less alcoholic and slightly sweeter take on the typically bitter Negroni.
Red Light Negroni
For every cocktail-lover who is looking for a bitter, sophisticated, serious drink, this Negroni variation is the one for you: It's intense color and herbal, bitter flavors are really emphasized in this recipe.
Smoked Plum Negroni
This Japanese-inspired Negroni is simultaneously smoky, sweet, and bitter. Japanese whisky makes up the base, and sweet plum wine is stirred in too for a fruity, rich boost of flavor.
