London, 2019 – To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Negroni, CAMPARI – the iconic Italian aperitif– will launch #N100, seven dedicated parties across the UK, each championing the impressive cultural impact this iconic cocktail has had over the last 100 years. Beginning on 20th June at London’s Vinyl Factory, N100: Cheers to the Count will be a monumental party offering 100 different twists on the classic Negroni.

100 Negronis? Yes that’s right – and all under one roof. N100: Cheers to the Count will be bringing together over one hundred cocktail recipes from the UK’s best bars, mixologists and tales inspired by moments of the iconic cocktail’s colourful history.

Choose from snapping a Negroni selfie in N100: The Classics bar, an installation built with CAMPARI bottles, or learn the skills it takes to craft a Negroni in a bar built entirely of ice and serving an exclusive Negroni Flight. If you prefer your parties international, take a trip to Italy at the Café Culture bar, inviting guests to learn more about where this famous cocktail was born, whilst sampling Italian aperitivio. Or, at the Globetrotters bar, take a trip through cities – including London – that influenced the creation of CAMPARI’s Negroni. Finally, guests finish at Campari Creates to take on the Count and create their very own twist on a Negroni.
