Features Negroni Negroni Week Cocktails

Carly Terzigni

The Negroni experienced a bit of a viral moment in 2022 when actor Emma D’Arcy from the HBO series ‘House of the Dragon’ shed light on their drink of choice: “a Negroni Sbagliato with Processo in it.” While bars around the world likely saw a boom in customers ordering the “broken” or “mistake” version of the Negroni, the classic version – one part Gin, one part Sweet Vermouth, and one part Campari, garnished with an orange twist – has been a favorite among cocktail connoisseurs for decades.

This year, from September 16 through 22, bars across the country will participate in Negroni Week, a celebration of all things, well, Negroni. Many restaurants and bars around the state will serve Negronis the classic way, or you may encounter several fun variations that experiment with the traditional gin/Campari/Sweet Vermouth formula.

Tender meatballs nestled in bubbling, vibrant San Marzano tomato sauce. Hearty breads that cradle cutlets generously smeared with homemade pesto. Crispy-on-the-outside Mac and Cheese balls and tender Crabcakes with a dollop of Horseradish Dill sauce. Lasagna that is layers deep, stuffed full of gooey cheese and smothered in more of that delightful tomato sauce. 

And it’s all vegan. 

Without getting too Hallmark-y, it is all based in love, as well.

Easy Fall Fruit Picking @ Bishops Orchards Farm

When I reluctantly moved to Los Angeles at the beginning of this decade, I missed our annual fall apple and berry picking trip so much that I dragged a posse of ex-East Coasters and their small children to the closest orchard (two hours into the desert) to pick apples one hot October Sunday.  To put it mildly, apple picking in California is a sad facsimile of the real deal here in New England.  The air was heavy, we were sweaty and the only ones enjoying the adventure were the children– they didn’t know any better.

Being back in New England, where there really is a fall season and apples taste like, well apples, we recently took advantage of the pick your own trifecta: September peaches, apples and raspberries and visited Bishops Orchards in Guilford, CT.
