The Morrison's Negroni Month

Overview

Possibly Sydney's most loved winter cocktail, the negroni is set for its centennial this June. To celebrate, CBD institution The Morrison Bar & Oyster Room has teamed up with Campari to throw a month-long party dedicated to the bitter and boozy classic.

Known for its $1.50 oyster hour between 6-7pm every Wednesday, The Morrison is often bustling with Sydney's well-heeled business crowd. Over Negroni Month, the bar will have a five-strong negroni list. Apart from the classic ($20), there'll be a blood orange version ($20), a sour negroni ($17) with lemon and pineapple, a peach fizz variety ($18) and even one served with a raw oyster on top ($30). You'll be sipping for a good cause too — $1 of every negroni sold will be donated to Australian food rescue charity, OzHarvest.

If you want to get even more into the spirit (pun intended), grab tickets for a two-hour Negroni masterclass at The Morrison on Tuesday, July 23 at 6.30pm. Led by Campari expert Tristram Fini, the class will cover the art of the negroni, where you will learn how to master three different recipes (including the Americano). Of course, you'll get to enjoy the fruits of your labour, with each negroni cocktail paired with some Italian antipasti. The evening will cost you $44 all up.

Running from Monday, June 24–Wednesday, July 24, The Morrison's Negroni Month will keep you warm with some good ol' firewater this winter.
