Negroni: perfection done cocktail. Yes, okay, but just when you thought that the cocktail invented by Count Camillo Negroni in 1920 at Caffé Casoni in Florence could not be improved, someone, in particular Richard Woods, barman (or mixologist, according to the hipster vulgate) of the Duck & Waffle of London involved the Nutella inventing the perfect Easter cocktail: Nutella Negroni.
Getting to the final result, a cocktail smooth as silk, indeed, like the original Negroni, with the botanical herbs of the gin enhanced by Campari, all sweetened by an elaborate infusion of Nutella, was not easy.
The first experiments under the banner of classic gin and Nutella weren't that great: the first was too watery to bind with the thick and lipid spreadable cream. The result? A loose, cloudy, uninviting cocktail.
The solution went through an experiment. The barman decided to flavoring the gin with Nutella through an alembic that he regularly uses at home for his rehearsals.
This is the preparation of the cocktail: the Nutella flavored gin is stirred in the mixer with equal parts of Campari and sweet vermouth, and the cocktail is served over some ice cubes.
But the real coup de theater is the serving glass: a classic jar of Nutella with a lot of label. Eureka (meanwhile the cocktail fever served in the Nutella jar with your name hit Twitter users).
It says: okay, nice, but if I'm not in London how can I sip a Nutella Negroni before Easter?
Don't despair.
Flavoring gin with Nutella is a complicated (and perhaps not entirely legal) operation, but Woods suggests a homemade adaptation:
Just mix equal parts of Campari, sweet vermouth and Bombay Sapphire gin, not too dry. Then add a few drops of chocolate flavored bitters (you can find it here, for example). How much it is? It depends on your degree of addiction to chocolate.
And happy Easter, of course.

Nutella, and what Italians would be without an imaginary girlfriend
Who knows if I want to distance myself from the image of the one who can't get out of the Nutella tunnel. It depends. Sometimes I drown disappointments in pimply spoonfuls and then assign the cream to the role of imaginary girlfriend. Others, I linger on the crazy percentage of sugar (55% say the English) and on that stripped of hazelnuts […]
Naked at the half: which of you would go shopping without clothes?
Without clothes and without shame, proudly like mom made them but not for some sloppy revolution, or undressed at any cost like Sara Tommasi. No, naked for free shopping. Last Saturday two hundred and fifty brave inhabitants of Süderlügum (North Frisia, on the border between Germany and Denmark) queued up completely naked in […]

Nutella: what world would it be without Matteo Salvini?
A word from Matteo Salvini against Nutella was enough for Ferrero to guarantee itself the best possible advertising on each newspaper. Now, however, let's hope that the left will not restart from Nutella
