World Negroni Week

Negroni Week is here! A whole week dedicated to the classic cocktail (and its many not so classic twists) is celebrated from the 12th – 18th of September.

An Italian cocktail, the Negroni is traditionally made with Gin, Vermouth, and Campari. The Negroni was known to signify the balance of good and bad things in life, mainly because it perfectly balanced bitterness and fruity sweetness. The perfect drink for experimentation, the Negroni is three ingredients in equal parts.

As cocktail culture steadily grows in Bangalore, more and more people are experimenting with classic cocktails – adding their signature twists to drinks and elevating them to new heights. Bars around the city are getting more adventurous with their takes on traditional drinks and serving deliciously wild concoctions.
