In Singapore’s seventh edition, #NegroniWeek 2021 will kick off 13th September 2021 and extend its usual one-week run till the end of September to invite everyone to support our Singapore’s local bar scene
Singapore, 9 September 2021 – Campari, Italy’s iconic red Aperitivo and Imbibe Magazine continue to partner together to lead the charge on Negroni Week, an international charity initiative that celebrates more than 100 years of the Negroni Cocktail, an iconic mix of Campari, gin and sweet red vermouth. For the 2021 edition, thousands of bartenders, venues, and consumers will celebrate three spectacular ingredients, with Campari at the heart. Over the course of 9 years, Negroni Week has raised over $3 million dollars in more than 70 countries, from the four corners of the world, for a variety of charitable causes.
WHAT IS NEGRONI WEEK
This year, Negroni fans are invited to celebrate the return of the hospitality venues we’ve missed so much whilst giving back to important charitable causes and raising a Negroni with friends.
Campari stands for Red Passion, the urge inside us that is impossible to ignore. As the very embodiment of this ethos, Campari believes that bartenders are masters of creativity and artistry, exuding Red Passion in their every creation.
