Featured Twisted Negroni Specials
“The Apprentice” highlights a refreshing highball-style Negroni heightened by strawberry-infused Campari.
Ideal for a lighter and effervescent experience, the cocktail blends the bittersweet complexity of the original with a burst of strawberry for added tartness, perfectly balancing the flavours.
Topped with sweet vermouth, the Prosecco base delivers a crisp and bubbly freshness resulting in a lively take on a timeless favourite.
A smooth operator, the “Crystal Negroni” offers a twist with Beefeater Gin and a sophisticated crystal clear outlook.
An elegant reimagining of the classic, crafted for those who prefer a softer, less bitter take.
The cocktail, specially catered to ladies or anyone seeking a more refined sip, replaces the traditional intensity of Negroni with delicate floral notes from the Elderflower liquor and Lillet Blanc-infused pandan leaf.
Finished with Campari spritz, it creates a light and graceful profile to a unique alternative to Negroni.
“Chocoloni” is a surefire pick for those who prefer more complex concoctions. The bold, spirit-forward twist on the classic Negroni will intrigue the taste buds from the merriment of Campari, Crème de Cacao, Tia Maria, Bigallet China-China and Tio Pepe Sherry.
The indulgent cocktail combines the rich, bittersweet essence of
dark chocolate with Negroni’s traditional botanicals, resulting in a multidimensional experience.
Each sip reveals a different facet of flavour against the rum base, making it a daring choice for those who appreciate the interplay of bitterness and sweetness.
For a more engaging experience, R Bar also features an intimate Negroni DIY Workshop on September 20, 2024, for one night from 7 PM – 11 PM.
Guests can experience crafting the classic Negroni on their own, right off the Campari trolley, to honour the cocktail that was once said to be the iconic Audrey Hepburn’s beverage of choice.
Turn it up at R Bar from September 16 – 22, 2024 in celebration of its first Negroni Week!
