History

Adapted from a recipe created by American actor Stanley Tucci, which he shared via a popular video on social media.

Review

James Bond famously likes his Martinis shaken, while Stanley Tucci prefers his Negronis shaken. Like Bond, Tucci's a man of consummate taste, who breaks bartending convention to shake rather than stir his cocktail of choice. Both fictional agent and actor are above being constrained by such conventions.

Very pleasant and slipped down easily. Obviously shaking emphasises the bitter element in the Campari, but the recipe is balanced nonetheless The squeezed and dropped in orange segment worked really well! Will def keep in mind for warm weather or “fresh and fruity” occasions.

Remade with the last of my homemade raspberry-strawberry gin, which seemed better suited to the more traditional stirred and served on ice method, tho I retained the squeezed and dropped in Orange segment to happy effect.

As I recall his shaken not stirred negroni appeared during the lockdown days, way before 2025!

Perhaps Mr Tucci prefers shaken, which gives a slightly colder beverage, because he is using a 2-1-1 ratio rather than the traditional equal parts. I have been making my Negronis with the 2-1-1 ration preferring the boozier result. I haven’t tried shaking though.

He shakes rather than stirs! Your text "he breaks bartending convention to stir rather than shake" implies the opposite!

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
