The tangerine-tinted tipple puts the juicy pink guava fruit on the pedestal. Dubbed the Nuthin’ But a “G” Thang ($24), the cocktail is inspired by head bartender Naz's recent Peruvian escapade. The dry and tropical drink is derived from infusing pink guava into the vermouth and combining it with gin and Campari.
The Negroni is a classic cocktail that has long been enjoyed and celebrated, by people all around the world. For more than 100 years, tipplers have reached out for this bittersweet swig before a good meal. While it is known to stimulate one’s appetite as an aperitif, it also boasts refreshing, delicious, and well-balanced flavours we've all come to love.
As far as stories go, it is widely believed that the drink was first invented in 1919 by Count Camillo Negroni in Florence, when he requested gin – instead of soda water – to be added to his Americano. Today, the Negroni enjoys an appearance on drinks menu everywhere, thanks in part to its simplicity in ingredients; all you need is equal parts of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari.
Its popularity has even culminated in an annual Negroni Week affair, where bars all around come together to reimagine this timeless tipple – and contribute to an altruistic cause where proceeds go to chosen beneficiaries. This year, the celebratory week-long affair happens from September 18 to 24. Pay these bars a visit and raise a toast with the classiest of tipples.
