Week One: A Curated Guide to Negroni Month
Kick off the week with a true classic. Burrow Bar is pouring their timeless Classic Negroni, a perfectly balanced build of Campari, Cinzano Rosso, and Bombay Sapphire Gin. Served short with an orange twist, it’s the kind of drink that sets the tone for a month of Negroni explorations. Pair it with the bar’s intimate, moody setting and you’ve got the ultimate start to the week.
Take a detour into refined Japanese dining at Kuro. Their Black Negroni layers Campari and Antica Formula with Genmaicha gin, burdock bitters, and a whisper of charcoal for depth. Best enjoyed alongside their Japanese small plates, this is a cocktail that brings complexity and elegance, perfect for easing into the weekend.
Step into a southern state of mind as country artist Abbie Ferris takes the stage live. On the menu is the Kentucky Negroni, a bold twist featuring Campari, Wild Turkey Rye, and Dolin Rosso. It’s a little smoky, a little spicy, and a whole lot of Americana ideal for a night of live music and good company.
End the week with a touch of magic at Vinabar. Their signature Vinagroni 3.0 combines Campari, Cinzano Rosso, and sesame infused gin an inventive play on tradition that leans nutty and aromatic. As you sip, keep an eye out for roaming magicians weaving through the crowd, ensuring the night closes on a high note of wonder and surprise.
