NYC cocktail bar to debut Negroni fountain
We’ve had the wine fountain in Italy, now a cocktail bar in New York’s Little Italy is to set to unveil a Negroni fountain that spills forth the classic Italian apéritif.
As reported by Gothamist, the fountain will be installed at ‘Dante at Genuine’, a pop-up installed at the space once occupied by the 100-year-old cocktail bar Genuine, on Grand Street in Little Italy. This will be the second site opened by the Dante team, with the original venue recently nominated for the Best American Restaurant Bar for its 2017 Spirited Awards.
“If there’s any cocktail bar in the city I’d associate with a singular drink, it’s Dante and Negronis,” said The Gothamist’s Dan Dickinson. “They’ve had this whole ‘Negroni Sessions’ menu for the last year or so where they’re doing interesting takes and twists on them.”
The Negroni fountain will form part of Dante at Genuine’s “Summer of Spritz” menu, which focuses on Italian apertivo and spirits that make up classic cocktails like the Negroni.
The fountain will only dispense classic Negronis (gin, Campari and Italian vermouth) and will sit at the bar with guests able to serve themselves, monitored by bartenders, at $14 a glass. Twists on the drink can be ordered but will not spill from the fountain.
Other drinks designed by Dante’s Naren Young include an Aperol Spritz Slushi, bottled Cucumber Elderflower spritzes, the Garibaldi with Campari and “fluffy” orange juice, and La Dolce Dante, made with gin, limoncello, bianco Vermouth and lemon soda.
