Meadowlark Celebrates Negroni Week
For one week every June, bar and restaurants mix classic Negronis and Negroni variations for a great cause. It is a celebration of this vintage cocktail all over the country, as well as an opportunity for bars and bartenders to give back to their community.
This year Meadowlark, located at 5531 Far Hills Ave, is featuring three Negroni cocktails created by Nikolas Hunt, and the generous folks at Meadowlark will donate $2.00 (for each cocktail!) to the Dayton Food Bank. This promotion runs through Saturday night.

A Look Back at Smart Guy in a Tie Cocktails Negroni Story:
The classic Negroni.
For many a bartender, there is a certain allure to the Negroni. It could be the of the simplicity of the recipe: one part gin, one part sweet vermouth, and one part the bitter Italian liqueur Campari. These basic proportions make the cocktail ripe for experimentation. Which means that the gin can be replaced with bourbon or champagne. The Campari can be replaced with any wide variety of bitters, from Aperolto Zucca. Every time you change one of the ingredients, you change the overall flavor profile. While the Negroni will always stand on its own among the classic cocktails, the variations it has inspired have covered the flavor and color spectrum.
The best legend of the creation of the Negroni starts with an Italian nobleman fleeing to America after having a child out of wedlock. Count Camillo Negroni spent some time in the American West, becoming a cowboy and enjoying the lifestyle of a rancher. When everything was a little calmer, he returned to his native country to settle back into his old lifestyle. He sauntered into town one day, looking for a stiff drink. Thinking the popular Americano (1 oz. sweet vermouth and 1 oz. Campari, topped with soda water) was not going to satisfy his thirst, he asked the bartender to substitute the soda water for gin. It was at that point a legend in the cocktail world was born. And like many other cocktails of the era it was mostly lost after Prohibition, showing up once bartenders started to discover the old recipes.
The one ingredient that takes some getting used to.
Several years ago, Imbibe Magazine declared the first full week of June Negroni Week. It is a celebration of this vintage cocktail all over the country, as well as an opportunity for bars and bartenders to give back to their community. For every Negroni purchased at participating venues, a portion of the proceeds is donated to the charity of their choice.
What is a classic Negroni, you may ask?
Negroni
1 oz. gin
1 oz. sweet vermouth
1 oz. Campari
Glass: Cocktail or Rocks
Ice: None
Garnish: Orange peel
Pour all of the ingredients into a mixing glass over ice. Stir until the mixture is chilled, then strain into the glass. Twist the orange peel over the cocktail, then drop it in and serve.
If you are a fan of gin and all of its herbal glory, this is an amazing cocktail. The bitter Campari is an acquired taste, but it is blunted by the gin and the sweet vermouth. Start here, and work your way forward…
Not a fan of gin? Bourbon fits just as nicely in this cocktail.
Old Pal
1 oz. bourbon
1 oz. sweet vermouth
1 oz. Campari
Glass: Cocktail
Ice: None
Garnish: Orange peel
Pour all of the ingredients into a mixing glass over ice. Stir until the mixture is chilled, then strain into the cocktail glass. Twist the orange peel over the cocktail, then drop it in and serve.
For those of you that enjoy whiskey more than gin, here is the Negroni variation for you. Swap the herbal gin for the smooth bourbon, and it is like you have an entirely different cocktail. If rye is not your thing, exchange that for bourbon and make yourself a Boulevardier. Either one is fantastic.
Negroni Sbagliato
1.5 oz. sparkling wine (stay in Italy and hit the Prosecco)
1.5 oz. sweet vermouth
1.5 oz. Campari
Bubbles make everything better, right?
Glass: Champagne flute
Ice: None
Garnish: Orange peel
Pour the Campari and sweet vermouth into a mixing glass over ice. Stir until chilled, then strain into the champagne flute. Then top off with the champagne and GENTLY stir. Twist the orange peel over the cocktail and drop in.
It is said that while making a Negroni, a hapless bartender accidentally grabbed an open bottle of champagne instead of the gin and poured it in. Instead of dumping it, he served it to his customer and this star was born. I want to see the bar set up that has the gin ANYWHERE close to the champagne. It seems like a stretch. However, the word sbagliato in Italian means “bungled” or “mistaken”, so there could be an
Unusual Negroni (by Charlotte Voisey)
1 oz. Hendrick’s Gin
1 oz. Lillet Blanc
1 oz. Aperol
Glass: Cocktail
Ice: None
Garnish: Orange peel or Grapefruit peel
Pour all of the ingredients into a mixing glass over ice. Stir until the mixture is chilled, then strain into the cocktail glass. Twist the orange (or grapefruit) peel over the cocktail, then drop it in and serve.
If the boldness of the original Negroni is too much for you, Ms Voisey developed a cocktail that dials back all of the intensity. Henrick’s is an amazingly light gin, more cucumber and rose petal than juniper. The Lillet is not very vermouthy, and the Aperol, while bitter and orange, is not as intense as the Campari.
A little sweeter, but still with some herbal zing.
Dark and Smooth
1 oz. dark rum
1 oz. sweet vermouth
1 oz. Jägermeister
Glass: Rocks
Ice: None
Garnish: Orange peel
Pour all of the ingredients into a mixing glass over ice. Stir until the mixture is chilled, then strain into the cocktail glass. Twist the orange peel over the cocktail, then drop it in and serve.
I will never stop experimenting with one of my favorite spirits, Jägermeister. I have been fiddling with this concept for a while, and finally figured out that the dark rum is the answer. The cocktail leans to the sweeter side for a Negroni, but the herbal notes hit the nose and the palate at the end.
There are many, many more variations of the Negroni out there. If you want to really see the variety of what people have done with the basics of the cocktail, buy the book Negroni: Drinking to La Dolce Vita, with Recipes and Lore by Gary Regan. It has dozens of recipes, some that stay true to the original, some that stray so far off that it is hard to call them a Negroni. But all of them stay true to the idea of the slightly bitter, herbal original.
Find your favorite cocktailing venue and order a classic. They are a delight on the palate, even though for some it is an acquired taste. And if the original is not to your liking, you can see there are many ways to modify it into something you will enjoy. Count Negroni did it over a century ago, and look how well that has turned out. Cheers!

Local Filmmaker Premieres Latest Horror Film
Daytonian Henrique Couto is an independent filmmaker who has directed 16 feature films. His trick for cranking out so many low-budget movies is to work quickly, cheaply and with like-minded actors, writers and crew members.

Dayton Awards Mini-Grant To Build Wagtown Dog Trail
Wagtown, Inc. has been awarded a $5,000 mini grant from the City of Dayton to begin building the nation’s first Wagtown Dog Trail with Wagtown Barking Spots.
The Wagtown Dog Trail is a two-mile, dog-friendly tour connecting Webster Station and The Oregon District. Wagtown Dog Trails are dog-friendly spaces to get out and walk, meet other dogs, get info on local dog-friendly events, hold programs, and more. Dog Trails increase community walkability for pedestrians (both bipedal and quadrupedal), foster social experiences, encourage healthy lifestyles, deter crime, and provide a forum to demonstrate responsible dog ownership.
Along the Wagtown Dog Trail, pooch-toting residents and visitors will be able to see Wagtown Barking Spots. These artistic installations showcase local creative talent and celebrate the community’s love of dogs. Wagtown Barking Spots will give dog lovers easy access to poop bags, resting places, and spaces to chill and connect to what’s happening for dogs and their humans in Dayton.
America is becoming increasingly dog friendly, and the Dayton area is no exception. Legislative shifts such as Ohio’s Pups on Patios bill that allows restaurant owners to decide if they want to be dog-friendly or not, are leaning toward more welcoming and humane laws, better protection for companion animals, and more freedom for businesses who want to make the most of this profitability booster. Miller explained that the impact of dog- friendliness was evident in many of the cities that she visited in the nonprofit’s research phase. “The phenomenon of “dollars follow dogs” is undeniable. Regionally vibrant cities have benefited from this correlation for years. Now, they use it as a marketing tool. We love that…but, it needs to be authentic. That’s where Wagtown can help.”
Wagtown has been working with a number of area municipal leaders, legislators, and grassroots organizations in the Miami Valley to develop educational programs to keep children safe around dogs, assist in off-leash area creation, develop pet-friendly office programs, and improve the authenticity of dog-friendly claims in our area. “The Dayton area has some great amenities for dogs and their families. That being said, we have a long way to go to be considered truly dog friendly. These projects are a great step in the direction of authentic and responsible dog friendliness,” stated Miller.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
- ARTISTS: Artists are encouraged to request a packet of information at if they would like to be considered for the project.
- VOLUNTEERS: Those interested in being involved in the project can sign up here.
- ATTENDEES: A free, dog-friendly kick-off event will be held on July 20 from 1-4PM at Troll Pub.

Blues, Bikes & Brews for Dayton Tornado Relief all-day music festival!
The event was the brainchild of Doug Hart. He contacted me about putting on a music festival at the Roadhouse to raise money for those affected by the Memorial Day tornados.
Doug has put together a great lineup of Miami Valley talent for a 10 hour music festival that will take place on both of our stages with each band/performer donating an hour of their time and talent for this event.
Tickets are $20 each, with the Roadhouse providing each attendee with a free Biker Burger and a bottle of domestic beer (or soda). Tickets will be available at the main bar starting Saturday, June 8th after 5:00pm. We will have a link on our website to purchase tickets on-line very soon.
We are doing this through The Dayton Foundation and their Greater Dayton Disaster Relief Fund. 100% of donations to this fund are given to non-profit organizations working directly with those affected by the tornados. The Dayton Foundation does a great job of vetting these organizations to ensure that the proceeds from ticket sales and corporate sponsorships are used to provide the most benefit to those in the greatest need of assistance. In addition, a large local accounting firm has volunteered to audit this fundraiser so that everyone who buys a ticket or becomes a corporate sponsor has assurance that 100% of the proceeds will be going to this very worthy cause.
Local distillery teams up with specialty sauce maker to raise money for tornado relief
All proceeds of the sales of Mutt’s Sauce Limited Edition Bourbon Sauce, made with Stillwrights bourbon produced by Flat Rock Spirits distillery near Fairborn, will go to Dayton-area disaster recovery, according to Charlynda Scales, CEO of Mutt’s Sauce.
The sauce is available for pre-order until July 1 on www.muttssauce.com. Discounts will be given for bulk orders.
Dayton Strong BEER BASH
The Dayton Brewery Alliance has come together to host a fundraising event in support of local tornado relief efforts in the wake of the devastating storms that destroyed so many homes and businesses in the Miami Valley. Thanks to the generosity of all the breweries, vendors, and musicians, every dollar earned or donated at the event will go to a special fund with The Dayton Foundation.
There will be live music from The American Landscape, Velvet Crush Unplugged, and 9Eight Central. Thirty local and regional breweries will be serving their finest brews and food will be available from Dewberry 1850, Carillon Brewing Co., and Culp’s Cafe (more to come).
We are asking all attendees to make an admission donation of $5 per person. You are also welcome to make a donation of $15 which will include admission to the event and an amazing dinner provided by Dewberry 1850 who is donating all of the food.
We hope you will join us to enjoy an evening of craft beer, food, and live music while supporting your friends and neighbors that continue to be affected by the tornadoes. Thank you!

Cappy’s Wine and Spirits
309 W. Loveland Ave, Loveland OH 45140
We have so many connections with the Dayton Beer Community that we’ve lost count.
And so when we saw the devastation that the recent tornadoes brought to the Dayton area we felt not just a desire but a responsibility to do some good and share our support for our friends and neighbors.
And while the initial response is starting to fade, there is still a tremendous growing need for support.
We’re partnering up with our friends from Warped Wing Brewing Company and The Barrel House to throw an epic party on our patio with $1 per pint and glass of wine being donated to The Dayton Foundation‘s Disaster Relief Efforts. A special shout out and thank you to Sara Stathes, Co-Owner of The Barrel House and former Cappy’s Crew Member, for getting this ball rolling and helping us to identify a non-profit partner for the event.
The Beerded Pig Food Truck of Ohio is serving up Trotty Brattys donated by BrewCity Sausage Co. all night with proceeds going to the cause!

Tornado Relief Update- June 20th – Volunteer/Donation Needs
It’s been just over 3 weeks since the tornados changed life as we know it for so many Miami Valley residents. Each week the needs are changing and ultimately the biggest need is for funding to help those displaced from their homes, repair or replace their vehicles so they can get to work, for those that still have jobs. Many people still aren’t sure what the future holds, meeting with insurance agents and filing claims with FEMA. What we do know is there is much to do and many ways you can help. We’ll keep updating this twice a week. Thanks for caring. #DaytonStrong
