It’s #NegroniWeek – one week out of the year (June 24-30 this year) when thousands of venues around the world participate + raise money for charities by selling the popular Campari, gin + vermouth-based cocktail and donating a portion of sales revenue to a local non-profit. The event was started by Imbibe Magazine in 2013 and has been going strong ever since.
