CHICAGO — Negroni week is currently underway in the city.
The annual fest is presented by Imbibe Magazine and Campari. Its purpose is to encourage businesses to pour the drink for a good cause.
The Negroni is a popular Italian cocktail that is made with one part gin, one part vermouth rosso, and one part Campari.
Tom Barnas from Chicago Scene takes us to Cindy’s for a look at how they’re mixing things up for a good cause. This year, Cindy’s will donate $2 from every Negroni sold to the Greater Chicago Food Depository and the hotel will match the donation to help those in need.
