A celebration of the world’s most iconic red-hued cocktail, Bitter & Twisted is a September ritual best served six floors up.
A month-long devotion to the Negroni in celebration of World Negroni Week with Campari (22-28 September), Rooftop at QT doesn't just stir and pour; they taste, tweak, and turn flavours on their head. The bar team have crafted a menu of bold new takes on the classic; each a little twisted, a little theatrical, and designed to be dramatic from first sip to final clink.
Looking to taste a little of everything? The Trio Tasting Flight provides all three different pours, each with its own off-centre personality and attitude. Whether it’s for a Negroni purist or a cocktail thrill-seeker, this is the invitation to revel in the red.
The Twist of Fate Negroni, a tableside experience, should you wish to dabble with the divine.
From the 3rd to 30th of September, fortune favours the bold, the curious, and the ones who dare let the cards decide. For NZD 28, guests can let destiny choose their tipple with a tarot card reading and hand their drink over to the spirits.
Rooftop at QT turns up the beat and slips into something vermilion on Friday nights during September.
Red lights glow. Music high. Classic Negronis are flowing at a cool price of NZD 16. Revel in the complimentary French-fry service for the first half hour, then linger for that final pour on the dance floor.
