With the premises closed, delivery is an alternative to have a good drink: here is how to order ready cocktails to which you just have to add ice. And if you are passionate about mixology, we also recommend a reading while enjoying your Americano
In these months of quarantine the delivery has become the only possible option to eat something other than the home kitchen. And, apart from the possibility now of buy take away, so it will be until June 1st or at least until restaurants, pizzerias, ice cream parlors and bars can reopen. But if many have become familiar with the orders of dishes and food at home, perhaps not everyone knows that you can get a good delivery directly at home cocktail why, let's face it, how many times in the past week have we wanted to sip a Negroni or a nice Mojito?

Meme Cocktails it is the idea of Chiara Cantini who proposes ready cocktails in a jar with screw closure to recall the concept of freshness (like the jams of the past) and practicality: once the jars are received, it is enough to shake well and pour. The ingredients are 100% Tuscan and follow the seasonality: Madame Ada is made, for example, with gin distilled with only organic Tuscan juniper berries and is balanced by the softness of Prato's white vermouth.
Cocktails are also made in Tuscany Factory 77, an idea of the bartender Alessandro Gherardi who created five recipes by studying every detail, from basic liqueurs to the maceration of herbs, fruits and spices, from oxidation techniques to the study of timing: Martini Dry Olive and lemon for example, is obtained from maceration in small stainless steel vats of gin with dried olives and lemon zest, subsequently mixed, aged and oxidized in larger stainless steel vats and then rested in glass.
Keynco It offers artisan bottled cocktails made with quality raw materials and ancient recipes infused with local herbs and spices, refined like good wines. There are proposals for an aperitif or meditation.
Stories to drink
In this period we maybe have a little more time to devote ourselves to reading and then we suggest one on the subject. Old Fashioned Cocktails written by Maria Teresa di Marco of the blog Calycanthus cuisine and by bartender Walter Bonaventura (Guido Tommasi Editore) it is a book that traces the history of mixed drinking through stories that have become legend. It contains anecdotes and curiosities about cocktails that have crossed borders and eras to reach us, but also over fifty formulas that have made the history of mixed drinking. Also included is a glossary to learn the "language" of real mixologists and useful explanations on mixing techniques. So you can also try your hand at DIY cocktails like professionals.
