Hotel Cipriani Concocts New Cocktail in Honour of Clooney's New Film
VENICE, Italy, September 7/PRNewswire/ -- On returning to the Hotel Cipriani after a special screening of his new film 'Good Night, Good Luck' at the 62nd Venice Film Festival, George Clooney asked his old friend and head barman of the hotel's Gabbiano Bar, Walter Bolzonella, to mix him a cocktail.
Walter concocted a refreshing blend of diced lemon, sugar, vodka, cranberry juice, ginger and angostura bitters, which he christened 'Buona Notte' in honour of the film which Clooney directed and stars in.
The cocktail was an instant hit. Clooney and friends enjoyed more than one that evening and 'Buona Notte' is now a permanent fixture on the Hotel Cipriani bar menu costing EUR 20.
The recipe for the 'Buona Notte' cocktail is as follows:
- Serve in an old fashioned glass
- 1/2 unpeeled lemon, diced into small pieces
- a table spoon of cane sugar
- a strip of cucumber peel
- a ginger round
- 3-4 drops of angostura
- Pestle well, then add:
- 50g of Vodka
- 50g of cranberry juice
- Complete with ice flakes. Serve with a straw.
Hotel Cipriani is set in the tranquil location of Giudecca Island across the lagoon and is just 5 minutes by complimentary shuttle boat from Piazza San Marco. This week, the Hotel Cipriani was voted by readers of Condé Nast Traveller - the best hotel in Europe, Asia Minor and the Russian Federation in the 'Overseas Leisure Hotels' category.
