Special cocktail: Easter Negroni by The Rook and 12-Micron

Easter Negroni

There’s a special drink coming to the bars of 12-Micron and The Rook in Sydney just for Easter – and it’s cute as feck. If you jumped on board the Negroni bandwagon when everyone else did in 2018, then wait until you wrap your hands around 12-Micron x The Rook’s Easter Negroni. It’s their latest creation made from coconut-washed gin, cacao infused Campari, La Quintinyne Rouge Vermouth and cacao garnished with a white chocolate coconut parfait bunny with a soft mandarin centre. It’s decadent as hell and will be available for a limited time this April at The Rook and 12-Micron. The classic 3-step cocktail has been transformed into a 10-part masterpiece. First 12-Micron’s pastry team create the white chocolate and coconut parfait before pouring them into bunny moulds. They then whip-up the liquid mandarin centre before adding that to the parfait casing. While the bunnies are setting the coconut washed gin and cacao infused Campari is prepped, before bar tenders at The Rook or 12-Micron put together the finished product in front of your eyes. Check it out and get your own for $24 from either venue.

Campari and the ivy Precinct team up to bring a taste of Italy to Sydney

Campari Red cocktail ivy 3

For years Campari has been relegated to a mere component of a Negroni. Campari Red Nights changes that. The legends behind the Italian aperitif have teamed up with one of Sydney’s iconic dining and entertainment precincts to showcase the versatility Campari has to offer. Kicking off with their official launch party last Friday the 21st September, the ivy precinct will continue to host Campari Red Nights for the next three Fridays. With the ivy precinct bathed in Camapri red for the night, guests are taken on an interactive journey through the cultural precinct, beginning with live street art on the cobblestone pavement of Angel place, continuing with dancers decked in the signature red serving as guides up through the complex, with the denouement taking place at ivy’s rooftop Pool Club. Expect to be regaled with street art, live performances, and Italian music. Naturally, Campari cocktails are in no short supply, with the classic Campari Soda ($10), fruity Pineapple Americano ($15), timeless Negroni ($15), and sweet Milano Sbagliato ($15) on offer throughout the night, along with canapes and dishes from the Pool Club’s aperitivo and pizza menus. Campari Red nights launched on the 21st of September, and will continue until the 12th October. Visit Merivale for more info.
