Instead of soda, he ordered gin be added to his favorite ap\u00e9ritif. After one sip, the count was hooked. The rest, according to bar lore, is history. We\u2019ll drink to that.<\/p>\n<p>About Negroni Week<br \/>\nPresented by Imbibe Magazine and Campari, Negroni Week launched in 2013 as a celebration of one of the world\u2019s great cocktails, and an effort to raise money for charitable causes around the globe. From 2013 to 2014, Negroni Week grew from 100 to more than 1,300 participating bars around the world, and raised more than $120,000 for charities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.maxrestaurantgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Negroni_week_promo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3184 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maxrestaurantgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Negroni_week_promo.jpg\" alt=\"Print\" width=\"650\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxrestaurantgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Negroni_week_promo.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.maxrestaurantgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Negroni_week_promo-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maxrestaurantgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Negroni_week_promo-405x300.jpg 405w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\">Take a look at this week&#8217;s speacials : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caflyers.ca\/boxing-day\/\">boxing day flyers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caflyers.ca\/black-friday\/\">black friday flyers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caflyers.ca\/best-buy-flyer\/\">best buy flyer<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caflyers.ca\/canadian-tire-flyer\/\">canadian tire flyer<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caflyers.ca\/home-depot-flyer\/\">home depot flyer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COCKTAIL CHIC: Negroni Week Makes a Splash at The Max Restaurant Group For thirsty cocktail lovers, there\u2019s nothing that wets the whistle faster than a swanky, palate-pleasing drink, especially when paired with a delicious cause.
