THIS YEAR'S
CHALLENGE
This year, the Campari Red Hands competition focus is to find the next Aperitivo Icon, inspired by the timeless legacy of the Negroni.
In the spirit of the Negroni’s heritage, we invite bartenders to create a drink that transcends the boundaries of tradition. Your creation shouldn’t be confined by the classic structure or ingredients but should embody the essence of a Negroni. This is an opportunity to break free from convention, allowing your creativity to shine and your innovation to redefine the boundaries of what an Aperitivo can be.
In summary, we would like you to create a cocktail inspired by the Negroni.
For further details, please see Terms and Conditions.
Entry Process
You need to create a video of your signature cocktail (a cocktail inspired by the Negroni), explaining the concept behind it, and submit it via our entry form. Your video should not be longer than 90 seconds, and there is no need for it to be made professionally – a simple phone recording is more than necessary! We just need to see you working behind the bar and talk us through your creation. Good lighting is recommended so that we can properly see you and your drink in the video.

FINDING A DRINK INSPIRED
BY THE NEGRONI
The Negroni’s rise to prominence is rooted in its simplicity and versatility. Bartenders embraced its elegance, patrons cherished its boldness, and together they turned a classic cocktail into a cultural icon.
So, why did the Negroni become a global phenomenon? It’s more than a drink; it’s a shared experience—a ritual of sipping something timeless, a bridge between tradition and modernity. The Negroni is not just a cocktail; it’s a conversation starter, a passport to the world of sophisticated flavours.
Now, as we embark on the Campari Red Hands Journey, we invite you to draw inspiration from this rich legacy. While the Negroni’s structure is the starting point, we encourage you to transcend the conventional, to innovate and create a libation that speaks to your style, your roots, and the ever-evolving landscape of mixology.
The Negroni has long been celebrated for its iconic trinity—gin, vermouth and of course, Campari —an alchemical dance of biter, sweet, and dry.
Is it the revered trio of ingredients, each claiming an equal portion of the spotlight? Must it adhere to the classic structure, or can we, perhaps, explore uncharted territories?
Dare to question, dare to redefine, and most importantly, dare to create a Negroni that is uniquely yours, with Campari at its heart.
