With Negroni Week returning from 21–27 September,, a little slice of the Italian Riviera is landing in Notting Hill, as Portofino Dry Gin takes over the pavement outside Casa N216 with its own open-air aperitivo bar. Designed for long, late-summer afternoons and golden-hour drinks, the pop-up will pour four twists on the Italian classic, from the Classic Negroni with Portofino Dry Gin, Campari and sweet vermouth, to a silky Negroni Sour finished with fresh lime and egg white. The Portofino 75 brings a lighter, sparkling note with Champagne, while the Negronino offers an alternative take using Portofino Botanical Spirit. Pull up outside, order a drink and settle into a little Notting Hill dolce vita for Negroni Week.
The Portofino Dry Gin pop-up will run from 21-27 September at Casa N216, Unit 1, 216 Kensington Park Road, W11 1NR (@casan216nottinghill).
From Ibiza to St James’s: Meet the Monopoli at Jul’s London
Fresh from Ibiza by way of St James’s, Jul’s London is giving Negroni Week a Mediterranean, after-dark twist with the Monopoli, available for seven days only. A bold departure from the traditional equal-parts formula, the cocktail combines Altamura Vodka, Lazzaroni Maraschino and Bitter Bianco with kaffir lime, coconut oil and almond, creating a cherry-led, citrus-bright serve with a silky tropical edge.
The Monopoli will be available exclusively from 21-27 September at Jul’s London, 11 Waterloo Place, SW1Y 4AU (@juls.london).
From the Ligurian Riviera to Chelsea: Negroni Week at Il Bistrotto
Born on the Ligurian Riviera and now at home in Chelsea, Il Bistrotto is bringing a taste of the Italian coast to Negroni Week with a trio of Mediterranean-inspired serves spotlighting Portofino Dry Gin. Across the week, the cocktail-led Italian bistro will showcase both Portofino Dry Gin and Portofino Botanical Spirit Light Edition, putting a distinctly Riviera spin on one of Italy’s most iconic aperitivo cocktails.
The Negroni Week serves will be available from 21-27 September at Il Bistrotto London, 6 Hollywood Road, SW10 9HY (@ilbistrottolondon)
The Doyle Collection – The Kensington, The Marylebone & The Bloomsbury
Three bars, three personalities and three very different takes on the classic come together for The Doyle Negroni Collection this Negroni Week.
From 21-27 September, The K Bar at The Kensington, The Cocktail Bar at The Marylebone and The Coral Room at The Bloomsbury will each pour a signature serve: the Dingle Negroni, made with Dingle Gin, Campari and Mancino Rosso Amaranto; the floral Coral Negroni with Amaro Santoni, Mancino Sakura Vermouth and N°3 London Dry Gin; and the richer Cacao Negroni, combining Roku Gin, Antica Formula, Ancho Reyes Chile, Select and Crème de Cacao à la Vanille.
Each cocktail is £19, while The Negroni Trio (£30) brings all three together as smaller tasting serves. Each bar will also offer a No-Groni (£14), made with Rebels 0.0% Rosso.
The Doyle Negroni Collection will be available from 21-27 September at The K Bar at The Kensington, The Cocktail Bar at The Marylebone and The Coral Room at The Bloomsbury.
