Local venues and bar teams offered classic options and new twists on the Negroni cocktail to celebrate the annual Imbibe and Campari Negroni Week from June 19-24. Negroni Week 2019 marks an additional milestone for the Campari Negroni, as the cocktail celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. Since 2013, Negroni Week has grown from about 120 participating venues to almost 10,000 venues around the world, and to date, has collectively raised about $2 million for charitable causes. Bars and restaurants participated worldwide to raise money for their own selected charitable causes, and people followed along via social media through #NegroniWeek. More than 25 venues in Connecticut served up showcased cocktails throughout the week while benefiting a local charity.
