Negroni Week

September 21 - 26 at The Aspen Bar

Join us for Negroni Week, where we are crafting three specialty cocktails. Negroni Week is partnering with Slow Food this year to help support their mission of defending cultural and biological diversity, promoting food education and the transfer of traditional knowledge and skills, and advocating for more just and equitable food policies. Proceeds from each cocktail ordered will be donated to this great cause!

The Forum's Classic Negroni | $18
A timeless Italian classic featuring Beefeater Gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. Bold, bittersweet, and perfectly balanced with notes of citrus and botanicals.

Sands' White Negroni | $16
A lighter, brighter take on the classic. Beefeater Gin, Suze, and Cocchi Americano come together for a crisp, herbaceous cocktail with delicate floral notes and a gentle bitterness.

Negroni Sbagliato | $18
The beloved "mistaken" Negroni made with Campari, sweet vermouth, and sparkling Prosecco in place of gin. Effervescent, refreshing, and pleasantly bittersweet with a festive finish.
