A Glasgow hotel is launching the city's first dedicated Negroni Bar.
The Dakota Glasgow hotel's Negroni Bar will open every Friday and Saturday from September 29, from 6pm til late.
A Negroni is an Italian cocktail, made of one part gin, one part Vermouth Rosso and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel. It is considered an aperitivo.
The city centre outfit's mixology team will be blending their Negronis using their own bespoke, three-litre barrel, made by Campari, that will age on the bar. This process will allow the Dakota team the option to bottle or serve aged Negronis straight from the barrel.

It will sit in the hotel's Library Bar, with direct access to the Dakota Terrace.
Food and Beverage manager Kieran Docherty said: “Over the past year we have seen a real trend with our guests both old and new, ordering Negronis, despite them not being listed on our classic cocktail menu. We have been working closely with the team at Campari to curate a Negroni cocktail menu that really focuses on taste and quality to ensure we are offering the best Negroni's in the city.
"We are delighted to offer guests our own barrel aged house Negroni, which is very special and tastes delicious. On the new Negroni menu we have also included some Negroni’s ‘with a twist’ so there is something to suit all palates.
"Several of the new Negroni cocktails available were created originally in iconic bars across the world such as ‘The Old Pal’ a Negroni with Rye, that was first served in the renowned Harry’s Bar in 1928.”
The Dakota Glasgow is in West Regent Street. For more information visit the website or follow Dakota Glasgow on Instagram.
