Celebrate Negroni Week with Three
New Cocktail Kit Collections from Merchants of Beverage
The Negroni is one of those classic cocktails whose ingredients have inspired bartenders across the world to create riffs that range from honoring to rivaling the original recipe. And what better way to pay homage to this delicious drink then with a week long celebration?
These curated cocktails were made in partnership with IMBIBE’s & Campari’s Negroni Week (June 1st – June 7th, 2015) where 5% of the profits from the Merchants of Beverage Negroni Kit Collections will go to the No Kid Hungry Campaign.

The Negroni is a favorite for the Merchants of Beverage team, and it was with love and excitement that they curated this collection to celebrate it. Price: $500

Negroni Classico:
About: Before the Negroni, there was the Americano—Campari, sweet vermouth, and club soda. Evidently, this was not enough to quench the thirst of Count Camillo Negroni, who famously requested the aperitivo with gin instead of soda. Despite the unlikely marriage of its three ingredients, the Negroni remains to be one of the most mystifyingly delicious drinks on the menu. The freshness of the gin, the bittersweet Campari, and the spicy vermouth don’t fight for attention, instead they peacefully coexist within the provocatively colored drink. Drink in the history.

Negroni D’Oro
About: This refreshing take on the classic Negroni combines French herbal liqueur Suze with versatile Fords Gin and sweet, floral Vittone vermouth bianco.
The hue is glowing golden, a sultry tone that evokes the flavors within. Sweet, bitter and dry are in total harmony in this ideal aperitivo – just like the classic Negroni, it is an essay on balance. Beautiful flavors of dried herbs and white flowers are gentle on the palate, but it’s no sleeper – just one will have you ready to take on the night! Price: $100
