From 12 to 18 September 2022, Nautilus Bar at Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta invited Negroni enthusiasts to enjoy the classic cocktail that dates back to 1919 in Italy with modern twists. Nautilus Bar is known for its Indonesian maritime concept, inspired by the country’s spice trade during the 16th century, with artworks of the historical Sunda Kelapa port, as well as nautical-inspired elements.
To pay tribute to the popular classic cocktail, the hotel’s head bartender Henry “Ale” Maraben Siktimu crafted two creative Negroni interpretations imbued with a Nusantara touch. The Coco Pandan Negroni is concocted from fat-washed coconut oil Bulldog gin, homemade pandan liqueur, Cinzano Rosso vermouth and Campari. Meanwhile the Nutmeg Negroni substitutes gin with nutmeg-infused Wild Turkey bourbon whiskey, in addition to shiraz reduction, Cinzano Rosso vermouth and Campari. Adding to the Negroni merriment were two curated cocktails: the Black Pearl from Argo Bar at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong and Café Negroni from Charles H. at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul.
Commemorating the 10th anniversary of Negroni Week celebrations, Nautilus pledged to donate a portion of the Negroni cocktail sales to a dedicated charitable fund managed by Slow Food.
