Negroni Week Comes to Pune: 9 Extraordinary Negronis to Try at Asilo, The Westin Pune Koregaon Park

 

For cocktail enthusiasts, September brings a particularly bittersweet reason to raise a glass. Asilo at The Westin Pune Koregaon Park is marking Negroni Week 2026 with a special seven-day celebration dedicated to one of Italy’s most recognisable aperitivo cocktails.

Running from September 21 to September 27, the rooftop destination is presenting a collection of nine Negroni interpretations that move from the familiar and classic to unexpected, contemporary expressions. The menu explores how a simple combination of bitter, sweet and botanical notes can be transformed through different spirits, liqueurs, infusions and techniques.

A Classic Beginning at Asilo Pune

The journey begins with the Classic Negroni, staying close to the cocktail’s unmistakable character with gin, Rosso Vermouth and Campari. It is the benchmark against which the rest of the menu can be explored, retaining the balance of bitterness, sweetness and botanicals that has made the Negroni an enduring classic.

The Elderflower Negroni takes a softer, more floral direction. Floral gin meets Campari and elderflower liqueur, adding an aromatic dimension while maintaining the cocktail’s signature bitter backbone.

For those looking for something brighter, the Citrus Rinse Negroni brings Limoncello into the mix, giving the familiar profile a fresh citrus-led edge.

From Chocolate Bitters to Olive Oil

The Bright Night Negroni combines gold rum, Campari, Rosso Vermouth and chocolate bitters for a rich, layered take. The Negroni Salato adds a savoury twist with gin, Campari, olive-infused Bianco Vermouth, salt and olive oil.

Whisky, Wine and the Negroni

The whisky-led Boulevardier blends whisky, Rosso Vermouth and Campari, while the Mulled Cabernet Negroni adds warmth and spice through a mulled wine reduction.

Two Modern Negroni Interpretations

The Negroni Blanc combines gin, Lillet Blanc, anise, elderflower and apricot liqueur with orange bitters. The Spur Negroni takes a tropical turn with tequila, Campari, Blanco Vermouth and pineapple saline.
