Negroni Week is making its stylish return to London this September, and some of the capital’s hottest hotel bars are shaking things up with their own takes on the classic Italian aperitivo. From 19th–28th September, you can sip your way through limited-edition Negroni menus at The Coral Room, The Bloomsbury Club Bar, The K Bar, and The Cocktail Bar in Marylebone Village — each serving up their own delicious spin on the iconic cocktail.
The Coral Room and The Bloomsbury Club Bar are teaming up with Portofino Dry Gin — the award-winning Ligurian spirit inspired by the Riviera’s effortless charm — to serve up flights of mini Negronis (£30) that are as chic as they are delicious.
At The Coral Room, the Negroni trio celebrates Portofino’s Mediterranean botanicals with a classic serve, plus two zesty citrus twists: the Lemon Negroni and the Orange Negroni. Over at The Bloomsbury Club Bar, the flight is inspired by the glamour of the Italian Riviera — think the Riviera Negroni with coconut and lime, the Sottosole Negroni topped with a cloud of lemon foam, and the rich, complex barrel-aged Bloomsbury Club Negroni.
Award-winning The K Bar is celebrating Negroni Week with a line-up that would impress Count Camillo himself. Alongside a timeless classic made with Hayman’s Old Tom Gin, you’ll find three indulgent twists: the Bungaroni Negroni with crème de banane and chocolate bitters, the Royal Tea Negroni infused with Earl Grey cordial, and the Il Fico Negroni, blending fig liqueur with crème de noyaux (all £18).
For the adventurous Negroni lover, The Cocktail Bar at The Marylebone hotel is the place to be. On the menu? The Blackberry & Lemongrass Negroni (£18), the Coffee Negroni (£18) shaken up with Kahlua and fresh espresso, and the Chilli Chocolate Negroni (£20), a bold mix of ancho chilli pepper liqueur and rich chocolate.
