Disaronno has rebranded Amaretto Day (Friday 19 April) to Disaronno Day – and to celebrate, is hosting what it is calling the ‘longest bar shift’ at locations around the world, from Auckland to Los Angeles.
Created by Disaronno’s The Mixing Star project, “The Longest Shift” will see bartenders and bars around the world celebrate Disaronno Day at the exact same time – 7:30pm – with an exclusive and custom Disaronno drinks list.
As part of the Disaronno Day campaign, Disaronno is also encouraging bartenders to mix the liqueur in three simple cocktails – recipes below.

The Sydney leg will take place at Manta Restaurant & Bar, led by bar manager Michal Horak – who has developed three unique Disaronno cocktail recipes paired with three dishes created by head chef Steve Hetherington.
