Negroni Week

We’re only days away from one of my favorite weeks of the year . . . Negroni Week!! Let me explain. Since 2013, Campari has teamed up with Imbibe Magazine to celebrate one of the most perfect cocktails and in doing so, raise money for charitable causes around the world. This year, from June 1 through June 7, over 2600 bars around the world will mix up their favorite negroni variations, with a portion of proceeds from each cocktail sold going to a charity of their choice. Which brings me to a very special piece of news . . .

This year, I’m thrilled to announce that HonestlyYUM will be hosting our very own Negroni Week party next Friday, June 5th at the one and only Sassafras in Los Angeles, CA. Come join us from 6-8pm, where each negroni served will benefit Inspire Artistic Minds, a charitable organization that provides scholarships and educational experiences to advance the arts in the areas of taste, sight and sound. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am – hanging out at one of my favorite bars in Los Angeles, negronis flowing, raising money for charity, and a chance to hang out with — you! So if you’re in Los Angeles next Friday and thirsty for a couple cocktails, grab some friends (21+ of course) come on over to Sassafras, say hi and have a drink for charity. The more the merrier!

Dry Rye Negroni by HonestlyYUM for #NegroniWeek

Today I’m sharing with you my favorite negroni variation of late: the dry rye negroni. St. George dry rye gin is crafted with a base of 100% pot-distilled rye, and often touted as the whiskey lovers gin. You might think of it as a boulevardier/negroni hybrid. I, however, simply think of it as delicious.
