Each number rolled corresponds to a Negroni variation, crafted by Premium Bartender, Andrew Kong.

Guests donate $2 to participate in rolling the dice. All participation fees, and partial proceeds from each Negroni sold, will be donated to Slow Food International, an organization preventing the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions.
 
If the guest rolls an 8, they will receive a complimentary Infinity Negroni Cocktail. In addition, HTL will donate $10 to Slow Food International.
 
If the guest rolls the numbers 3 through 7, the dice decides which HTL premium Negroni concoction they will enjoy ($15 per cocktail).
 
If the guest rolls a 2, also known as snake eyes, they donate $10 to Slow Food International, in addition to covering the price of the Negroni.

Miantiao

Miantiao is offering the following Vancouver Negroni Week features:

Kun-Mi-To (bottled cocktail)

Campari, sweet vermouth, carbonated white tea, bitters, citric acid

A Mi-To (also known as a Milano Torino) is a simple recipe composed of equal parts Campari (from Milan), and sweet vermouth (from Turin).

Americans visiting Italy used to order it with soda, resulting in the cocktail we now know as the Americano.

The Kun-Mi-To is Miantiao’s riff on the Americano, using carbonated white tea instead of soda.

Miantiao uses White Moonlight loose-leaf tea from O5 tea in Kitsilano; the tea is harvested in the mountains above Kunming in China, representing the Kun in Kun-Mi-To.

Negroni Agrumato (served over ice cube and garnished with a lemon twist)

Botanical Baijiu, vermouth blend, Campari

Baijiu is China’s national spirit and is the most consumed spirit in the world.

For this cocktail, Miantiao infuses baijiu with botanicals to create a base spirit reminiscent of gin, but with its own distinctive character.

The delicate, time-consuming, (yet rewarding process!) involves first macerating coriander seeds, tea leaves, ginger, Sichuan peppercorn, lemon and orange peels and leaving for three days, then adding juniper hydrosol to the blend.

The result is a bright, citrus-forward spirit, with a silky mouthfeel and a long finish; a perfect pairing for Campari and Vermouth.

Dopocena (served in a coupe with an orange twist)

Goji berry-infused gin, cacao nib-infused Campari, sweet vermouth

For this last expression, Miantiao wanted to create a dessert-style Negroni, while still playing into the bitter notes characteristic of the cocktail.

Goji berries and cacao nibs are well-known antioxidants and are widely consumed for their health benefits.

Classic Negronis are also available at: Di Beppe, Pizzeria Farina, Ask For Luigi, Farina a Legna.
