Approximately 25 Connecticut bars and restaurants participated in a global event, the Imbibe & Campari Negroni Week. The week celebrates one of the world’s great cocktails in an effort to raise money for charitable causes using local on-premise accounts and social media to create a national impact. During the week of June 2 – 8, 2014 bars around the world mixed up their favorite Negroni variations and donating a portion of proceeds from each one sold to a charity of their choice.
