If you’ve spent any time on social media lately, you’ve no doubt seen the throwback trend of people fondly remembering the good ol’ days of 2016. Well, one London bar is taking that nostalgia one step further by bringing back some of the drink prices from that time. Bar Brasso has teamed up with Campari on a delicious collaboration to bring us a selection of cocktails for just £5 apiece. That’s a far sight cheaper than a pint even!
Now, if you ask me, the Negroni is the perfect cocktail. It’s bracing, perfectly balanced between bitter, sweet, and boozy, and works in any situation. Whether the weather is hot or cold, and whether you’re at home or in a fancy cocktail bar, it always fits right in. And now, thanks to Bar Brasso’s special Aperitivo Hour offering, it’s cheaper than ever to enjoy them
Should you need further convincing of the Negroni’s superiority, just ask Anthony Bourdain – the king of everything food and drink. The drink was a much-loved favourite of the late chef and presenter. He spoke glowingly (and hilariously) of the drink’s intoxicating effects in his Parts Unknown series:
What’s magical about this cocktail is the first taste, it’s like I don’t know, man, it’s a little too something. Then like that second sip, it’s like oh, that’s kind of good. Then the third sip, it’s where are my pants?
Just make sure you don’t lose your trousers at Bar Brasso!

From Monday to Saturday, between the hours of 5-7pm, Bar Brasso tempts Londoners in with their Aperitivo Hour. Inspired by the Italian aperitif tradition, of a small drink to stimulate the appetite, it sees Bar Brasso serving up delicious Campari cocktails for just £5 each. It’s the perfect precursor to an evening spent nibbling on the venue’s cicchetti and tapas offerings.

Ooh, a Negroni? Sbagliato? With prosecco in it? Don’t mind if I do!
