Celebrate 100 years of Negroni with The Coral Room and VII Hills

The Coral Room launches a limited edition Negroni menu with award-winning Italian dry gin brand VII Hills

Still as much of a classic cocktail now as it was 100 years ago, the Negroni is a rich aperitif enjoyed across the world. Made with one-part gin, one-part vermouth rosso, and one-part Campari, then garnished with orange peel, it’s traditionally served stirred, not shaken, and then strained into a chilled cocktail glass over ice.

Legend has it that the first Negroni was created at a small café in Florence in 1919. Count Camillo Negroni asked the bartender to fix him a stiffer version of the Americano using gin instead of soda water and thus, the famous drink was born.

In honour of this much-loved tipple and Negroni Week (24-30 June), The Coral Room has teamed up with VII Hills Italian dry gin on a limited-edition menu of bold, bittersweet Negronis, created by The Coral Room’s creative bar team.
