The annual celebration of the world's most popular classic cocktail, Negroni Week, is back again for another week of drinking for a good cause. Themed The Power of Timeless Bonds, the 11th edition, focuses on the unbreakable connection between bartenders and the industry while reinforcing that there's no Negroni without Campari.
This year's activation will be Campari's biggest yet, with over 90 participating bars and counting, alongside a host of pop-up events and partnerships across Singapore from 18 to 24 September. The main goal is to rally consumers into appreciating the aforementioned bonds.
Since the creation of the first Negroni in 1919, Campari has remained the red heart of the drink with its unmistakable bittersweet complexity. This year's edition acknowledges the connection between bartenders, customers, and craft. The theme emphasises how these bonds unite to form a thriving industry that mirrors Campari as the core of every Negroni served.
In the challenge to encapsulate that vital bond in a cocktail, participating bars are welcome to create renditions imbued with personal philosophies and signature touches. Apart from mobilising over 90 bars and counting featuring returning participants and new venues, Campari Group will also be rounding up 10 representing bartenders to convey their inspirations and personal experiences with the cocktail through a content series that will be spotlighted across Campari Singapore's official socials.
