For one week every June (24-30), bars and restaurants around the world serve up a beloved three-ingredient cocktail for a great cause. Launched in 2013 in partnership with Campari and Imbibe Magazine, Negroni Week is an annual effort to raise money for a number of charities by celebrating one of the great classics. Over the past 6 years, Negroni Week has grown to include over 12,000 participating venues world wide and has raised over $2 million for charitable organizations.

This year, 75 bars and restaurants are participating locally. Here’s a list of a few spots offering up classic Negronis and riffs for a great cause…

The speakeasy within the Rosewood Hotel Georgia also has three feature negronis including The Inception, which they describe as “a Negroni within a Negroni.” Interest piqued! Prohibition is supporting The Surfrider Foundation, which is dedicated to the protection of the world’s oceans.
