Episode 4 is all about Negroni Week 2020, the global cocktail celebration that raises funds for charitable causes. Linden Pride, co-owner of Dante in New York City, gets things started by making a classic Negroni; we then talk to Amanda Gunderson, co-founder of Another Round Another Rally, one of this year’s Negroni Week fundraising partners, about their work on behalf of hospitality workers affected by the COVID-19 crisis; Anu Apte, co-owner of Rob Roy in Seattle, makes a Negroni variation, the Steady Long; and author Brad Thomas Parsons shares his essay from our September/October issue about the Negroni’s comforting qualities during challenging times.
