The Negroni is a simple cocktail made with a lot of complex flavor. This week, celebrate its charms at your favorite bar while helping to raise money for charity.

Bars around Chicago are offering a range of Negronis, from traditional cocktails made from just sweet vermouth, gin and Campari to unique riffs like Cochon Volant's "Daily Shave," which turns the cocktail into a snow cone. They will donate portions of the proceeds to a charity of their choice.

Grab a passport online with featured bars or view the full list on the Negroni Week website or follow along on social media with the hashtag #negroniweek. Last year the week raised $121,777 dollars for charity.

Here are some of the Negroni Week offerings we've spotted on social media so far:
