Renowned mixologists Eddie Perales, Francesco
Lafranconi and “The Modern Mixologist” Tony Abou-Ganim, made history on
Thursday, March 14th in creating the world’s largest barrel-aged Negroni. Aged
for two weeks, the Negroni will be available at numerous Caesars Entertainment
outlets for $7 between June 1st and June 7th. $1 from every Negroni purchase
will go to Three Square Food Bank.
Greeted
with top hats and fake moustaches in honor of the famed Count Camilo Negroni,
creator of the Negroni, guests were treated to Negronis. Tony Abou-Ganim gave an introduction and a
brief history of the drink before turning the microphone over to Francesco
Lafranconi who explained the significance of the Negroni and the event. “This
is the most classic cocktail we have in Italy,” stated Lafranconi to guests.
After a toast to the Negroni, guests were invited up to begin pouring ingredients
into the barrel.
The
world’s largest barrel-aged Negroni is composed of 96 bottles of Campari, 96
bottles of Bulldog Gin and 96 bottles of Cinzano 1757 aged in a 53-gallon Wild
Turkey barrel. The barrel will be on display until June 1st at Le Central, when
