Negroni Week Bike Ride

Negroni Week Charity Bike Ride

Negroni is a classic Italian drink that begs to be celebrated.

Campari & Imbibe Magazine host Negroni Week anually to raise money for charities around the world.

This year the Cocktail Bandits participated in Negroni Week by hosting the Negroni Week Charity Bike Ride as a part of the Charleston US Bartenders Guild.

We rode from Saltwater Cowboys on Shem Creek to Mex 1 on Sullivan’s Island to benefit the Lowcountry Food Bank!

1 out of 5 children in Charleston rely on food banks for their meals. Lowcountry Food Bank is committed to serving those that need it.

A Negroni is a classic cocktail that uses only three simple ingredients. To make your own, combine

1 part Gin

1 part Campari

1 part Vermouth

Garnish with an orange peel and serve in a cocktail glass on the rocks.

 

The beautiful Tegroni featured above (Negroni with a twist) was served as our reward for successfully completing our four mile ride through Charleston. Mex 1 added a fun coffee infusion to the cocktail that really showed off the classic cocktail’s versatility.

We also enjoyed delicious Negroni spiked push pops and pie
