If you don’t like Negronis, close this tab because you don’t belong here. This month sees the return of the 14th edition of Negroni Week, featuring a global series of events in bars and restaurants that is the most extensive programme to date. Acclaimed bartenders from globally recognised bars will be doing guest shifts, collaborations, and exclusive events across Asia, and Hong Kong, along with our sister SAR Macau, is of course on the schedule.
Zuma will be hosting a double guest shift on September 21, with a Negroni Week opening party helmed by Matteo Cadeddu from Opium Bangkok (recently named No. 25 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026) and Michele Montauti, director of beverage and bars at Aman Nai Lert Bangkok. The speakeasy-style Opium is no stranger to guest shifts in our city, always serving liquid hits, but this is a great chance to also try drinks from Bangkok’s ultra-luxurious Aman Nai Lert hotel and residences.
Then on September 24, pop over to Pony & Plume in Capella at Galaxy Macau where Joash Conceicao from Singapore’s Offtrack will be behind the stick. They recently snagged No. 16 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026, so if you’re not planning a trip to the Lion City soon, hop on a ferry to Macau instead.
Aside from presenting new interpretations of the classic Negroni, this event is also for a good cause. The Negroni Week Fund will go to Slow Food, who directly supports the hospitality community in preserving cultural and biological diversity, promoting F&B education, and fostering equity and wellness. No twisting of arms needed; we’ll be there!
