From Florence to Val d’Orcia, the journey continued.
A curated experience through the Tuscan landscape led guests to the Santoni distillery, where international press and the world’s best bartenders witnessed the true unveiling of Santoni L’Aperitivo.
#SantoniAperitivo
Two days. One unveiling. An international ritual begins.
In Florence, Santoni L’Aperitivo was introduced to the world in the presence of international press, leading bartenders and some of the most iconic venues across the globe.
Framed by timeless architecture and heritage design, the journey opened where beauty is born. This is where it starts.
#SantoniAperitivo
È stato finalmente alzato il velo sulla nuova bottiglia di @santoniaperitivo , il liquore a base di rabarbaro che racconta Firenze e le tradizioni botaniche toscane.
Abbiamo celebrato questo importante evento a Casa Santoni, l’opificio gioiello nel cuore di Chianciano Terme, dove vengono creati e prodotti tutti i liquori e i distillati di questa grande epopea familiare.
Oltre 60 anni di esperienza che ora si proiettano nel futuro, anche grazie al design avveniristico di Stranger & Stranger e all’entusiasmo di tanti bartender internazionali arrivati a Chianciano per godere di questa prima assoluta.

An unmistakably Florentine aperitif deserves a bottle to match.
For Santoni L’Aperitivo, we looked to Florence as a whole for inspiration, capturing its marble geometry, paneled reliefs and architectural language in a striking new bottle, from Santa Maria del Fiore to the city’s iconic textures and patterns.
Rhubarb pink recalls the heritage of Florentine apothecaries, while a monogram at the neck adds a refined signature detail. These elements echo throughout the brand world, accented by geometric tilework and the green marble typical of Florence.

If you haven’t watched the interview with this incredible team yet, you should.
These photos are proof of why we do this.
They’re about creating memories. About the stories that happen when people come together. About the moments that become part of Boadas’ history.
Thank you Salvatore and Federico for the time you shared with us here at Boadas.
For the lessons, the laughs, and for being part of these walls for one night.
This is what it’s all about.
Small touches of citrus sherbet in cocktails can make a huge difference in the final result.
It’s like leaving home with or without a spray of perfume on 😁
Tell me I’m wrong ❤️

: “The World’s Best Cocktail is Enjoyed at Sips in Barcelona.”
Tapas Magazine declares Marc Álvarez’s clarified Bloody Mary at SIPS the most important cocktail in the world in 2026: a masterwork of pureness where everything that obstructs has been removed, leaving only crystalline truth.
“Marc has stripped the Bloody Mary of its excesses—the texture, the celery stalk, the poor-quality tomato—leaving only the crystal-clear water of its essence. The most intelligent and brilliant creative processes—or so-called creative processes—almost never consist of adding anything new, but rather of organising, refining, and stylising what was already there.”
“The Bloody Mary is the ultimate cocktail of the moment because it goes to the essence of things, and nothing is superfluous. The crystal-clear, cold tomato water is reminiscent of Jean-Claude Ellena’s Eau de Campagne for Sisley, and the alcoholic component is elegantly subdued to the point that the first time I tried it, so small and so cold, I had the feeling that it contained no alcohol, or hardly any, and I imprudently ordered four, which I later had to atone for.”
This, and much more entertaining reading - including parallels to Ferran Adrià’s juxtaposed the ice cream slice with Parmesan, and Steve Job’s iPhone, in this stellar Spanish piece by Salvador Sostres in Tapas Magazine👇
