This Negroni Week (16th – 22nd September), The Coral Room is bringing the vibrant spirit of the Italian Riviera straight to the heart of Bloomsbury as they team up with Portofino Dry Gin for aperitivo hour. 

As an ode to Italy’s most beloved cocktail, and crafted with passion and precision, the talented bar team has curated a special Negroni menu, highlighting the elegance of Portofino Dry Gin.

To complete the experience, guests arriving between 4-6pm will be treated to a complimentary aperitivo spread of nuts, olives, and arancini for a true taste of Italian hospitality, all set within the stunning ambiance of one of London’s most beautiful bars.

For those seeking a unique twist, the Balsamic Negroni (£16) blends Portofino Dry Gin, Campari, Well-Aged Balsamic Vinegar, and Mancino Vermouth Chinato—infusing a tangy richness into the classic cocktail.

For an uplifting tipple grab The Lively Italiano (£16) made with Portofino Dry Gin, Regal Rogue Daring Dry Vermouth, Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto.

The Barefoot Contessa (£16) combines Portofino Dry Gin with Granny’s Garden Tea, Regal Rogue Wild Rosé and Amaro Santoni for a herbaceous sip. 

For a taste of la dolce vita without the next-day regrets, the NOgroni Sbagliato (£14) delivers all the flavour with none of the alcohol. This innovative mocktail blends Seedlip Spice 94, Rebels Dolce, and Bemuse Pomona Sparkling Honey Wine for guilt-free indulgence.

Crafted with a passion for the Italian Riviera, Portofino Dry Gin captures the essence of Portofino through its rich heritage, exceptional craftsmanship and distinct Mediterranean flavour profile. The unique blend of 21 botanicals are handpicked from the brand’s sanctuary in the hills of Portofino. As stylish as it is delicious, the distinctive coloured bottle evokes Portofino’s turquoise sea with illustrations capturing the village’s iconic buildings and chalk colours. Place three bottles side-by-side to reveal the whole panorama of Portofino.

Head to The Coral Room this Negroni Week and let the flavours of the Italian Riviera transport you to sun-kissed shores, all while sipping on the classic elegance of a perfectly crafted Negroni.
