Monday night was Nostrana's 3rd Annual Negroni Social which is a boozy, fantastically industry party celebrating the Italian cocktail comprised of equal parts gin, compari, and sweet vermouth. Nostrana's Roster Bar is run by a fabulous bartender named Douglas Derrick. Each month Douglas creates a new Negroni variation for the bar's menu and the social is an once a year opportunity to sample them all. Or as many as you dare. The event is much more than a simple cocktail party; there's costumes, music, entertainment and of course more Negronis than you should attempt to drink in one night. This year's theme was magic and featured stalk walkers, magicians, and a contortionist that actually shot a bow and arrow with her feet will performing a handstand. Needlessly to say it was an amazing night. Here's some of the highlights in photos:
