The occasion marked the 11th edition of NEGRONI WEEK, an event that celebrates the timeless connection between CAMPARI and the world of mixology while raising funds for the charitable partner Slow Food.

NEGRONI WEEK 2023 is all about celebrating the indispensable role of Campari in creating the iconic Negroni cocktail and honoring the bartenders who craft it with precision and passion. The Slow Food Negroni Week Fund provides direct support to those in the hospitality industry. Throughout the week, cocktail enthusiasts can enjoy a variety of Negroni cocktails, from classic recipes to innovative creations, at leading bars and restaurants. Events include a boozy brunch, an elegant dinner cruise with delectable food and drinks, and a lively bar hop. These activities not only pay tribute to the artistry of bartenders but also give back to society through The Foundation for the Deaf under the Royal Patronage of Her Majesty the Queen.

As part of the celebration of the enduring bond between Campari and bartenders worldwide, nine renowned international guest bartenders have descended upon Bangkok to paint the town red alongside local talents.
