Stanley Tucci shows how to make a perfect Negroni cocktail at home l GMA Digital 

The Negroni is a popular Italian cocktail, made of one part gin, one part VERMOUTH ROSSO, and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel. It is considered an apéritif. A traditionally made Negroni is stirred, NOT SHAKEN, and built over ice in an old-fashioned or rocks glass and garnished with a slice of orange.

I saw this during lockdown & thought if it’s good enough for the ever so cool Stanley,it’s good enough for me.😊 Had one in Florence,the home of negroni,last week & blessed Stanley .

Luv this guy! Cheers

I have always liked the movies that you acted in. One of my favorites is The Terminal.

Love Stanley Tucci. Such a beautiful soul ❤️

STIR SIR

I miss your actings, Stanley, especially in two movies, The Devil Wears Prada and Captain America: The First Avenger. Please stay healthy during this time.

I love this man act... but as a bartender i just have to step in: 1. The correct ratio is equal parts of gin, vermouth and campari. You can and should adjust those by your personal taste tho (gin gives botanical flavour, vermouth makes it sweet and campari makes it more bitter) 2. Its stirred not shaken. Because you want to cool and dilute it, without cracking the ice or adding air into the drink. (if you must shake it: at least double strain it) 3. The Garnish will ultimately decide what aroma the drink will have. Orange makes it fruity and sweet, lemon makes it citruss heavy and sour and rosmary makes it earthy and more on a botanical side. Tip: leave the garnish outside of the drink. Nerd-Out. Peace.

Oh Stunning!!

You're not supposed to leave sweet vermouth out and it's supposed to be stirred, not shaken.

Tucci gang rap was lit!

Me watching this after the lovely bones trying to convince myself he’s not a serial killer

Holy Christ, he's still fine as hell...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Cheers, from The Great Catsby 🍸

Making them now! 🇮🇹

I love him ❤️

Is this the cocktail that he 'broke the internet' with, per his recent CNN commercial? LMAOOOOO.

Your cocktail recipe was a ray of sunshine in another wise dark and dreary winter!

"If you don't like gin you can use vodka..." What the actual f***, Stanley?!?!

I don't care about the cocktail I just love him making it!

🍹🍹 saúde!🇧🇷🥰

seriously, 811 likes? are you kidding me? If Stanley was to stand with his back to the camera and not say a word for 5 minutes it would worth a like. Love from the other side of the world, cant wait to get my hands on his masterclass

Gotta be gin. I use Rosso vermouth. I use orange skin and fringe it without squeezing juice. This is my fave. Cheers Stanley.

A double shot of gin? That’s hard core ! The classic is 1-1-1. Strained ? I think not. Ice cold on plenty of ice with an orange slice please. That’s a classic Negroni.

Great actor, bad Negroni. At the very least STIR IT.

I don't drink. I'm here just because of Tucci.

you don’t shake a Negroni. I mean, you can do whatever you want, but the proper way to serve a Negroni is by stirring it with ice and then straining into a chilled coupe

I guess you gotta drink 🍹 in style watching kids kill in the Hunger Games eh?! 😂

I love that guy, not sure about his Negroni though. But I'm sure it is a great drink anyway, just his way.

Mr. Tucci. Hire me as your personal bartender and you will have to most epic classic cocktail out there. Good try though, peace!

It doesn't seem like a Negroni cocktail..🤔🤨🧐

Gotta love the classic Negroni and the classic Tucci. But try replacing the Gin with Mezcal and use Bordiga Bitter which is less sweet than Compari. The added smokiness is just what the Stanley ordered.

Not two shots of gin. Not vodka and a splash of gin. There is only one Negroni, and it is made with equal parts of gin (savory), Campari (bitter) and sweet vermouth. The savory/bitter/sweet combination is what has made it so popular: It is pleasing in the mouth, and pairs well with savory and salty snacks. This video is counterproductive.

If anyone can help...got a cocktail from Herbs + Rye, LA. Didn't like it, i was looking for drinks with campari. Bartender made me something else that was i think a bit citrusy, had spice of some kind. Excellent drink but cant remember for the life of me what it was.

My God! The easiest cocktail to make completely ruined. 1:1:1 and stir it. Respect for the actor but we are not in a 007 movie.

This is the best and I love it so much I’ve been inspired to create a “How not to” make this drink, it was so much fun but tasted horrible:) Not like this one I bet :) Awesome video

NO! DON'T SHAKE IT!!! IT IS A STIRRED DRINK!! OH THE HUMANITY!

How to screw a recipe? Here it is!

It's a Stantucci

There is so much hate in the comments for this but there is nothing wrong with anything hes done in this video. Lets break it down a bit: 1. He basically did 2:1:1 on the measurements which is fine, personally I always go heavy on the gin in negronis because too often a gin can go under in the recipe. The Plymouth gin that he uses here is wonderful but gentle, double measurement of it in the drink is pretty much on point. Hell, Gaz Regan, the man who wrote the book on Negronis, makes his 4:1:1. 2. Sweet Vermouth is generally Rosso Vermouth, in this case its a bottle of Antica Formula which is used in pretty much any cocktail bar in the world. Great choice though for me its a bit too vanilla foward in flavour and a Cocchi di Torino would be nicer but its a personal preference. 3. Yes, its a stirred drink in a rocks glass on ice. BUT, shaking a drink makes it colder than stirring it even if using the same type of ice so then having it in a chilled coupe is a really nice touch. 4. To the dude who said cobbler shakers belong in the trash: GET F. They have their use, they have their place and tell that to any japanese bartender and he will rip you a new one. 5. Zest over Wedge: a lot of cocktail bars, especially in italy will make the drink with a cleanly cut wedge. The slight infusion of a fresh orange makes the drink even more interesting over time and adds just another dimension. Most italians Ive met enjoy squeezing just a couple drops of orange in the drink just like a lot of scotch drinkers will do it with a drop of water in the whisky. Its a ritual among enjoyers. 6. The designation perfect in a cocktails is NOT a 1:1:1 measure, that would make a Last Word a Perfect Last Word. Generally its used for Martinis and Manhattans to mention that its made with both Sweet and Dry Vermouth. A Perfect Negroni is just a drink that he loves to drink and its best for him. Frankly this is is an excellent drink and with the products he used its probably better than some negronis Ive seen in decent cocktail bars. People ripping on him need to learn that making a drink for oneself at home is a joy and be happy that an actor you like shows a drink he enjoys. Cheers you twats.

I can't even

This is the worst, that was painful to watch

Looks tasty...you should share!

This is disturbing on so many levels 😂😂😂

This is so upsetting.

He is soooo distinguished.

What the...?! Did you just shake that?? And squeeze orange juice?? No, no, no, no! Dear, oh, dear!

Hi tucci you don't shake i you have to stir it.

Someone seems a little buzzed already. 😅

He can make it however he likes, but...

1 shot of Botanical gin, 1 shot of sweet vermouth, 1 shot of Campari over a carved clear ice rock, rim the glass with an orange peel and use it for garnish. Don’t put the whole orange in. 🤷‍♂️

Don’t shake stirred drinks omfg imma go kmsrq damn

ummm when was this shot? does this show say when? can you disclose whether this is pre pandemic or otherwise? If I don't know that info, if a viewer sees it, would it not lead them to go and compromise their exposure to COVID? mysterious indeed not intriguing enough for me to even want to watch without that disclosure

You shouldn't call it Negroni, please. Especially if you use vodka. Completely wrong the parts and the technique...you have to stir it. I recommend you to take a bartender class here in Italy....😀

Its not stirred :(

He's also a connoisseur I see, now this man is a legend

WHAT A LOAD OF COBBLERS. 1. Gin ONLY. 2. Do not use a cocktail shaker. 3. Wrong glass.

What brand of sweet vermouth is he using...can't identify the label?

Tried this and it tasted like paint thinner and sugar. One of the nastiest drink I have ever tried.

Ohhhh NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

aging lik a fine wine!!! (or should i say negroni)

STIR not Shake. Wrong Mr. Tucci

It should be stirred not shaken.. However the measurements do make for a better Negroni despite the original cocktail calling for equal parts. because the vermouth is so rich and the Campari so bitter you need 2 parts gin to cut through it. So in terms of the measurements it is a better Negroni.

Never have I seen such a poorly made negroni. It should be equal parts! It should be orange peel, not a slice! There should be an ice cube! The glass should be an old fashioned or double rocks! It hurts to see! And vodka? What the actual...

Tutto sbagliato

These are tasty, but very strong. Only have one, though, because apart from the alcohol they contain many congeners.

you cant really serve drinks without showing what you put in there

Ironically, Perfect, means “each ingredient in equal parts” so Tucci’s Negroni is as far from perfect as possible. Also you don’t fucking shake a Negroni you stir it. Even if you DID shake it you wouldn’t do so in a cobbler shaker (those belong in the trash). And even if you DID use a cobbler shaker his shaking was super weak and wouldn’t have properly chilled or diluted the drink. You garnish with an orange peel, not a slice, and you serve on a rock in a rocks glass. This is a master class in “how not to make a Negroni”

Don’t you think alcohol will damage the throat? I love to taste these delicious cocktail and sweet fruit wines or ice wine, but I’ve felt alcohol really seem to damage my sound...

Stanley, I love you, but please don't shake a Negroni.

Ido. A a

GMA: *Shakes Negroni* World: *cringe* 🤦🏻‍♂️

Please no. 1/3 each, no martini glass, NO SHAKE !!! Ma che CaXXO stai facendo ??

Wrong.

STIR STIR STIR dont shake

Warm vermouth, wrong specs, shaken cocktail w no citrus... calling 1oz pour a double shot.. oh lord...

The negroni is the best cocktail because it’s all alcohol 🥃

This recipe is a war crime

Stirred cocktail….

Seriously? Shaking a Cocktail made up with Vermouth? Are u crazy? Dude!!! If a Cocktail has a Vermouth, it needs to be done in a Mixing glass method!!!

A Negroni is stirred not shaken

Fucking abismal

Good actor but I followed his recipe and did not like the drink, too bitter IMO.

Jesus what a monstrosity.

I enjoy the food show, but wth is this? American negroni?

What a goddamn mess. Wrong six ways to Sunday. He should be made to turn in his Italian identity.

Why tf is homie shaking that

Bad in so many levels.

That is not how you make Negroni. If this was anyone else he would be booed off stage.

You’re not supposed to shake gin

Just bought all the ingredients and ewwww an awful tasting concoction!! What TF am I going to do with a bottle of campari with 2 shots out of it?!! Tasted like my grandma's storage closet smells!!!!!! 🤮

typical overrated actor showing off ordinary skills outside of Hollywood....

Lol racist!

Washed up actor tries to reinvigorate his career and life by traveling the world and talking about food. Yawn.
