Negroni Week at The Espy

Overview

St Kilda institution The Espy is going all out this negroni week — the venue is offering 1.5-litre magnums to the negroni loving masses. The special batched cocktail was made in American oak barrels, then treated with Tawny port for two months, aged for an additional four weeks and bottled onsite. As this negroni is very large (and very strong), the magnum bottles will only be served to a tables of eight or more — a great excuse to grab seven of your best mates and make a night of it.

As to be expected, the novelty doesn't come cheap, and will set you back $280, though $60 of the cost will go to Sacred Heart Mission (a leading charity for the homeless). Individual serves of the stuff will also be available for $19, and five bucks of that will go to the same charity.

It'll be available all week long at the venue's Cantonese restaurant Mya Tiger. Negroni Week at The Epsy runs from June 24–30 — head to their website to book a table.
