Negroni-O-Rama: Photos from the NYC Invitational R&D Session
In celebration of Negroni Week 2024, Campari Academy hosted some fantastic NYC Bartenders for an R&D session with recently-awarded “Bartender of the Year” Kapri Robinson and Tommaso Cecca, Head Bartender of Milan’s Camparino Bar.
Over the course of a bright, bluebird Monday in Manhattan, guests received free range to explore the Academy’s pantry and tool kit, utilizing everything from foams to floral chocolate to rapid infusions and even a Searzall!
After breaking into teams to ideate and construct their perfect Negroni riff from scratch, visitors received guidance from Kapri and Tommaso, Italian Icons Ambassador Olivia Cerio, plus Eddie Hansel and the Academy bar team.
After finishing their creations, attendees were invited to pull up a stool at our brass bar top, where they received final feedback on their recipes, presentation and garnish. Finally, Tommaso stepped behind the bar to whip up some Shakeratos, ensuring no one left thirsty!
