Negroni Week in Hong Kong is back! Although the next few days will be spent quietly hunkered down at home as Super Typhoon Ragasa sweeps through the city, that doesn’t mean we can’t already look forward to how we’ll be spending the weekend. Here are a few places in town that are joining in Negroni Week – why not make a bar crawl out of it?

Zzura

Middle Eastern-inspired speakeasy Zzura in Central is celebrating its fourth anniversary during Negroni Week, so you can put on your party hats while sipping on some downright delicious tipples. From now until 28, Zzura’s mixologists will be shaking up a special one-off negroni called the Forbidden Fruit, made with longan gin, mezcal, Campari, Aperol, and Mancino Rosso. A portion of the bar’s Negroni Week sales will go towards supporting the Slow Food Foundation’s initiatives.

At Kinsman, guests can sip on the Red Cliff, an East-meets-West mix of Campari, Wuliangye baijiu, Magnolia Lab liqueur, Averna, and sweet vermouth that blends Italian flair with Chinese soul.

The Daily Tot

Why is the rum gone? Because it’s been swapped for Campari! All jokes aside, it wouldn’t be a night out at The Daily Tot without rum, and the bar’s creative offering for Negroni Week shows that Caribbean vibes can be expertly blended with Italian style. The Popcorn & Pandan Negroni is a novel concoction made with Flor de Cana, Campari, pandan, sweet vermouth popcorn, and orange zest for that tropical feeling.

Here’s something different for Negroni Week: Barcode has whipped up a delicious, dessert-like Negroni that we’re certain will have patrons rapidly ordering a follow-up. Negroni Land is made with vanilla ice cream gin, Campari infused with Tonka beans, and Lillet Blanc white vermouth. So, where does the dessert end and the drink begin?
