​Campari®, Italy’s iconic red apéritif, has joined forces with Imbibe Magazine for the sixth year to present Negroni Week 2018, celebrating the iconic Negroni cocktail - a perfect mix of Campari, gin and sweet red vermouth. The week-long international charity initiative will take place from the 4th - 10th June 2018 in bars, restaurants and retailers around the world to raise money for charitable causes. Over seven days, thousands of venues will celebrate the nearly 100-year-old Negroni cocktail, with Campari at the heart, over one shared charitable goal. With the modern cocktail movement continuing to expand, the annual event has grown larger every year, with Negroni Week 2018 set to be the biggest yet. Starting with 100 participating bars in 2013, last year’s Negroni Week welcomed the involvement of 7,770 venues in 60 countries to raise a phenomenal $1.5 million for charitable causes since the launch. Following the ever-growing contemporary classic cocktail phenomenon and the rising popularity of bitter, Negroni Week Thailand 2018 is set to be better than ever. 101 bars participated in the 2017 edition and this year, a larger number of sign-ups are expected.

​ABOUT NEGRONI

It was around the year 1919 in Florence when Count Camillo Negroni contemplated ordering an Americano cocktail but decided it was time for a change. He requested it with a touch of gin instead of soda, inspired by his last trip to London and its prevalent gin scene. The bartender was pleased to honour Count Camillo Negroni’s request and added an orange garnish rather than the lemon wedge of the Americano to signify the new drink he had created. In Florence, the Count’s ‘usual’ became known as Count Negroni’s Americano, or the “Americano with a touch of gin”, but whatever it was referred to as back then, the Negroni was born. The Negroni is now one of the most famous contemporary classic cocktails. Anywhere you go in the world, you will find a mixologist who can make you the iconic Negroni. The original recipe, the perfectly balanced combination of equal parts of Campari, Red Vermouth and London Dry gin, is almost a century old and continues to be enjoyed today. The International Bartenders Association (IBA) lists Campari as an official ingredient of the Negroni, and thus, there is no Negroni without Campari! For more information visit www.campari.com.
