In Trastevere, since 2023, Jerry Thomas Bar Room has been regarded as a benchmark address for Italian and international mixology. Beyond the quality of its cocktails, two additional elements elevate the experience: interiors inspired by the carriages of the historic Orient Express, meticulously recreating a bygone atmosphere, and the direction of Gregory Camillò, the mixologist who has distinguished the venue since its opening with his creations. The Epic Signatures Cocktail at Jerry Thomas Bar Room One standout on the list […]

Aldo Fresia — Tue, 26 May 2026 06:47:00 +0000

Why bother talking about the Spring Feeling if hardly anyone cares? For one, indifference does not always last forever. Then there is the simple fact that it is a genuinely good drink, as confirmed by some of the leading figures of the cocktail renaissance. And finally, it can be seen as the twist on another forgotten cocktail that has enjoyed a recent revival: the Last Word. Perhaps that connection will eventually help Spring Feeling find its audience.

Edward Russell was in Cádiz. He would have preferred to spend […]

Army & Navy, the Story and Recipe of the Military Cocktail

Aldo Fresia — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 06:02:00 +0000

The original recipe for the Army & Navy cocktail was “a dreadful concoction”—at least according to the man who first bothered to put it in writing, David A. Embury. A harsh judgment, yet one that ultimately helped preserve the drink’s memory and opened the door to later adjustments that would turn it into a far more balanced cocktail. The Story of the Army & Navy Cocktail The Army & Navy dates back at least to the 1930s, a conclusion historians […]

Fallen Angel, the Story and Recipe of a Prohibition-Era Cocktail

Aldo Fresia — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 06:51:00 +0000

There are countless works titled Fallen Angel: novels, short stories, films, songs, albums, television miniseries and even a video game. As for cocktails, however, there is only one. It likely dates back to the years of Prohibition, and reconstructing its history is rather like searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Oaxaca Old Fashioned: The Cocktail That Put Mezcal on the Global Bar Map

Aldo Fresia — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 06:17:00 +0000

Hats off to the Oaxaca Old Fashioned. More than a simple twist, it is the variation that — almost single-handedly — helped propel mezcal into the spotlight of contemporary mixology. The Story of the Oaxaca Old Fashioned To understand the importance of the Oaxaca Old Fashioned, it helps to remember that in the mid-2000s few people knew mezcal well, fewer appreciated it, and almost no one had a clear idea of how to use it in a cocktail. The turning […]

Few national celebrations have achieved truly global resonance. St. Patrick’s Day is one of them. Every year on March 17, the Irish honor their patron saint, joined by generations of emigrants scattered across the globe and by their descendants. Around them gathers an even larger crowd of people with no Irish roots at all who, for a day, happily play the part. Italy included. Few voices are better placed to talk about the drinking traditions of the holiday than the […]
