SALUTE! CUCINA PUTS AN ITALIAN TWIST ON NEGRONI WEEK

Salute! This Negroni Week, Cucina is celebrating one of Italy’s most iconic aperitivo traditions with a limited-edition menu of six creations, each bringing a playful Cucina twist to the classic.

Available from 21 to 27 September for AED 59 each, Beverage Manager Rafael Coelho has been busy in Cucina’s Beverage Lab, playing with some of Italy’s favourite flavours and putting his own stamp on the iconic serve. Coffee, dark chocolate, pistachio, vanilla and even a little birra all make an appearance across six very different takes on the Negroni.

So, what’s your Negroni?

• A classic at heart? Start with the Diavola, Cucina’s nod to the original and the closest of the six to the much-loved Italian aperitivo.
• Coffee after everything? The Caffè Rosso brings coffee and chocolate bitters into the mix for a rich Italian-inspired take.
• Dolce is non-negotiable? Meet Cioccolato, with dark chocolate bringing a deeper, indulgent twist.
• Pistachio, sempre? The Pistacchio puts one of Italy’s favourite flavours centre stage with pistachio-infused notes.
• Something a little sweeter? Vaniglia brings vanilla-led flavours to Cucina’s interpretation of the classic.
• Prefer to break the rules? Birra Sbagliato is the wildcard of the menu, bringing limoncello, beer cordial and birra foam together in the collection’s most unexpected creation. 

Rooted in Italian aperitivo culture but unmistakably Cucina in character, the menu brings a little dolce vita to Palm West Beach for Negroni Week. Cucina is also joining the global celebration as an official Premium Partner, appearing on the Negroni Week map alongside participating venues around the world.
