Are you ready to Negroni again? Yes, it’s that time of year again, when we fill our glasses with one of the most classic of cocktails – the Negroni, and drink for a cause!
Now a globally beloved contemporary classic, the Negroni cocktail was voted as the second most popular cocktail in the world and is listed in the prestigious IBA Official Drink List.
Negroni Week is an international charity initiative started by Campari, Italy’s iconic red apéritif, and Imbibe Magazine 8 years ago. Each year, bartenders come together to raise money for charity during Negroni Week, but with the Covid-19 pandemic resulting in bar and restaurant closures worldwide, Negroni Week will be shifting focus and format this year.
In Malaysia, Wholly Spirits joins forces with Campari and Remy Cointreau Malaysia to present Negroni Week 2020, which will run from 14-20 September, 2020.
The collaboration consists of a series of exclusive Negroni Week Sets, with a portion of the proceeds going to a charitable cause (to be announced later). With these Negroni Week Sets, you can now enjoy a Negroni from the comfort of your own home, and drink for a good cause!
To purchase the sets, you can visit the Wholly Spirits Retail store (Wisma CKL in Desa Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur), or online at shop.whollyspiritsasia.com. The sets are available from now until September 20.
But once you’ve got your own Negroni set, you’ll need to know how to use it!
