For the fifth year, the iconic Milanese red aperitivo Campari has once again served as the Exclusive Spirits Partner of the New York Film Festival (Sept. 29 – Oct. 15).
In celebration of Campari’s enduring partnership and the return of NYFF, a number of NYC bars collaborated to showcase Campari in different ways – and prove that Campari and cinema are the perfect pair.
Italian restaurant/bar Cafe Paradiso (144 W 65th St, New York, NY 10023) has created a specialty Campari cocktail, the Campari Negroni Milano Maranello, in celebration of the Italian-themed Closing Night Film, Ferrari. The movie stars Adam Driver, Penelope Cruz, and Patrick Dempsey and highlights the story of legendary Italian race car manufacturer and entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari at a professional and personal fulcrum. Sneak a peek at the recipe below.
“Celebrating our fifth anniversary with the New York Film Festival, a Festival that’s unwaveringly dedicated to the filmmaking community, is extremely exciting for Campari,” says Andrea Sengara, Vice President of Marketing at Campari America. “NYFF is an iconic, cultural moment in New York, and it’s an honor for Campari to continue its historic involvement and raise a Campari Negroni to toast the cinematic pioneers behind the screen, whose work inspires and moves us.”
