If we’re being honest, outdoor drinking is an all-year-round activity; we simply switch up our orders depending on the season. This time of year, with warm days and crisp evenings, is perfect for a Negroni, the over 100-year-old classic cocktail made with gin, Campari, and vermouth. Some famous Negroni fans include author Ernest Hemingway, chef and author Anthony Bourdain, actor Stanley Tucci, and home bartenders everywhere. What is it about this drink that has made its appeal so long-lasting? Is it the cheerful red color? The zesty citrus aroma from the orange peel garnish? Well, let’s make another and think about it. Here’s where you can find Negronis in Hoboken and Jersey City, and where you can celebrate Negroni Week, September 13-19 2021.

ITA Italian Kitchen | 682 Bergen Avenue, Jersey City

Is there anything this cozy spot can’t do? From house-made pasta and pizzas to gluten-free and vegan options, there seems to be something for everyone on the menu. But let’s not forget the cocktail menu, where there is a special section just for the Negroni and some variations. Each iteration has a different twist, and all feature authentic ingredients such as Italian gin or wine-based vermouth for a big flavor.

LOKAL | 2 2nd Street, Jersey City

Keep it simple with an ultra-traditional Negroni, enjoyed while watching the sunset over the Hudson. Not too shabby!

Liberty Prime Steakhouse | 111 Montgomery Street, Jersey City

The Mezcal Negroni at Liberty Prime Steakhouse swaps out the gin for mezcal but keeps the sweet vermouth and Campari. It’s just enough to be familiar, but just enough to be like new.

Monroe’s | 36-42 Newark Street, Hoboken

This Hoboken hot spot is all about the classics, and that includes the cocktail menu.

Orale Mexican Kitchen | 1426 Willow Ave., Hoboken; 341 Grove Street, Jersey City

The Oaxan Negroni at Orale Mexican Kitchen is the traditional Negroni’s louder, boozier cousin. It swaps out gin for tequila and mezcal; trades the sweet vermouth for a dry; and finally,  a bitter pomegranate liqueur in place of the Campari.

Roman Nose | 125 Newark Avenue, Jersey City

This family-owned restaurant focuses on having the best ingredients around. The same is true for the cocktail menu, which includes a classic Negroni, made with Contratto Rosso Vermouth, known as one of the oldest vermouths to be made.

Sorellina | 1036 Washington Street, Hoboken

Negronis are on the menu and are included in the Aperitivo Happy Hour for $8 Tuesday through Friday from 4PM – 6PM. Order one of the seasonal antipasti boards, and you’ll be set for the night.

WurstBar | 516 Jersey Avenue, Jersey City

This downtown JC favorite seems to get everything right, and the classic Negroni is no different. Order up some truffle fries to go with your Negroni for a truly decadent experience.
