It’s next week: June 24 through June 30

Drink up! It’s time to pay tribute to one of the world’s greatest cocktails: the Negroni, a sweet and bitter drink from Italy made with gin, vermouth, and Campari. From Monday, June 24, through Sunday, June 30, 10,00 venues from San Francisco to Sydney will whip up Negronis for a good cause during the sixth-annual Negroni Week 2019—which, this year, couples the 100th anniversary of the cocktail itself.

In honor of the occasion, the team behind Negroni Week has partnered with 30+ charities, and every participating venue picks one from the list to support. There are over 30 bars and restaurants in Miami participating this year. Read below to find out where we’ll be celebrating and why!

Novikov Miami

Order a Negroni at Novikov Miami {300 South Biscayne Boulevard, Downtown Miami; 305.489.1000}, and you’ll help raise money for the Arbor Day Foundation, the largest nonprofit membership organization dedicated to planting trees.

Matador Bar

Next week, head to Matador Bar {2901 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 786.257.4600} and get a bougie twist on the classic Negroni for $18, excluding tax and gratuity.

Located in the heart of South Beach, Tanuki Miami {1080 Alton Road, Miami Beach; 305.615.1055} is a trendy sushi and Pan-Asian hotspot just off Alton Road.

Both drinks are priced at $15 and will benefit No Kid Hungry.

Market at EDITION {2901 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach; 786.257.4600} is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Negroni in more ways than one. Guests can get the 100 Year Negroni—an ode to centennials living in the Italian village of Acciaroli, where the local rosemary is believed to be a factor in their good health—made with artichoke-infused Plymouth Gin, rosemary, orange-infused Campari, Lillet Blanc, and Antica Carpano. This twist on the classic is priced at $17, excluding tax and gratuity. For $5, excluding tax and gratuity, get the booze-filled Negroni Cupcake with rose-tinted icing, a rosemary sprig, and an orange peel garnish.

Head outside to Driftway bar, and you’ll find a Frozen Negroni with apricot-infused gin and lemongrass-infused select Cardamaro. All three drinks will be priced at $12 and benefit the Wild Foundation.
