BRATTLEBORO — The Blue Moose Bistro will be one of more than 1,300 restaurants and bars around the world participating in Negroni Week, June 1-7.
The restaurant, at 39 Main St., will be mixing drinks for charity, earmarking a portion of its proceeds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Vermont.
Negroni Week, presented by Imbibe magazine and Campari, was launched in 2013 as “a celebration of one of the world's great cocktails and an effort to raise money for charitable causes around the world,” according to promotional materials for the event.
The drink, invented around 1919 in Italy, contains gin, herb-and-fruit-infused liqueur, and sweet vermouth and is garnished with an orange twist.
In its first two years, the promotion has raised more than $120,000 for charities.
Six other Vermont establishments are participating in the promotion, all in the Burlington area.
