A Classic Cocktail with Local Flavor
September 22–28
Raise a glass during Negroni Week on Myrtle Avenue, September 22–28! We’re teaming up with Imbibe and Campari for a week-long celebration of the iconic Italian cocktail. Ten local bars and restaurants will showcase exclusive menus—from the timeless original to inventive riffs that spotlight the creative flair of Myrtle Avenue’s mixologists.
What’s on the menu:
• Doppelgänger – The Negroni: Plymouth Gin, Punt E Mes & Cappelletti.
• The Emerson – Nordic Negroni: Michigan-made Aquavit adds caraway, dill, sage, and dried orange for a spiced, Nordic twist.
• LaRina Pastificio e Vino – Cuore Matto Negroni: Strawberries and basil meet gin in a fresh, flirty ode to la dolce vita.
• Lula Mae – Mekong Gold Negroni: Cambodian-distilled gin stars alongside classic and white variations.
• Mr. Lee’s – Bittersweet Negroni: Mezcal, Cynar, and Lucano Amaro layered with orange bitters for herbal depth.
• Osteria Brooklyn – Smoked Negroni: Gray Whale Gin, crafted with California botanicals, brings a coastal smokiness.
• Putnam’s Pub – Glendalough Rose Negroni: Floral Irish rose gin, Select aperitif, and Dolin Rouge vermouth create an elegant European blend. (Putnam’s owner Gerry Rooney’s brother Rowdy, who is the head distiller at Glendalough, uses rose petals from their late mother’s garden to produce Glendalough’s Rose Gin.)
• Rosticceria Evelina – Five Negroni Variations! Including a Banana Kingston (clarified banana rum), Earl Grey (damask rose & juniper gin), Oaxaca (made with mezcal & gin, coffee-infused Campari & Carpano Antica), Smoked Artichoke Negroni (mezcal, cynar & sweet vermouth) & a Sbagliato (Stellare Primo, Antica Torino & topped with Prosecco).
• Third Falcon – A unique house twist on the classic.
• Vine – Stone Garden Negroni: With Fords gin at its base, The Stone Garden balances the classic bitter backbone of Campari with the rich depth of Antica Carpano and a dark plum sweetness from Choya Kokuto, creating a refined and earthy twist on tradition.
Whether you’re a Negroni devotee or a first-time sipper, this is your chance to enjoy limited-edition cocktails while supporting local businesses. Each participating venue is also making a donation to Slow Food, advancing their mission of good, clean, and fair food for all.
Let’s toast together—cheers, salute, salud, skål, sláinte—on Myrtle Avenue!
