What’s happening during Negroni Week?
A delicious round-up of all the spots you can sip on a Four Pillars Negroni for this (very) special occasion.
Our love for a Negroni knows no limits. So a whole week celebrating this holy grail of gin drinks is bliss.
This year, Negroni Week runs from 18 September to 24 September. But why stop at one week? We’ve gone and turned Negroni week into a whole MONTH of celebrations. Because…who’s gonna stop us?
From a limited-edition Negroni menu in our gin homes to Negroni-inspired cocktail specials at some of Sydney Melbourne and Brisbane’s hottest bars, to a delicious Negroni-themed gin dinner in Surry Hills and a big old Negroni-themed party in collaboration with our friends at Campari. There’s seriously no shortage of Negronis to be had.
Let’s get into it!
