Stanley Tucci's Negroni tutorial goes viral: 'The last man in the world to wear real pants and a belt'
As alcohol sales rise during the coronavirus pandemic, there might be an uptick in Negroni ingredients thanks to Stanley Tucci. The Devil Wears Prada star has been trending on social media for his quarantini masterclass that has some people thirsty in more ways than one. Felicity Blunt — Emily Blunt's sister — filmed her husband as he whipped up his version of the Italian cocktail all while wearing real clothes.
"We're going to make a Negroni up. Mostly people have Negronis on the rocks and I think actually they're quite nice up," Tucci began as he put a "fair amount of ice" in a shaker.
"Then what you want is a double shot of gin," he continued. "If you don't like gin, you can use vodka."
However, Tucci encouraged people to put a little bit of gin in there, at least "on the top." He added a shot of Campari and a shot of sweet vermouth, but told people to use "good sweet vermouth."
"You don't want to use, like, Martini. You know, that brand Martini?" Tucci told the camera, waving his finger "no."
Tucci shook it all together for about 10 seconds before pouring it in a coupe glass and garnishing the cocktail with a "pre-sliced" orange.
"That's good," he smiled after tasting his creation. Tucci said those who don't like it up can pour the same recipe over ice.
Someone shared the video on Twitter and it quickly took off, amassing over 2.7 million views and counting. Chris Evans chimed in and called Tucci "an absolute gem," revealing the actor would make people martinis on the set of Captain America.
I. Love. Stanley. Tucci.
On some(most) days after we finished filming on the first Captain America movie, Stanley would make us martinis in his trailer.
He’s an absolute gem. However cool, fun, witty, and charming you think he is, double it and you’re halfway there. https://t.co/mEJzuV8oAH— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) April 21, 2020

Lol saw someone trying to be like "he's not making the cocktail correctly"
Sir, Stanley Tucci could serve me wine and tell me it's butter and I would gladly obey his instruction. https://t.co/8Nlerhfzz4— Rachael Krishna (@RachaelKrishna) April 21, 2020

What better treat than a short bit of kitchen seduction from your best friend's very hot dad, Stanley Tucci? I would categorize the following video as Not Safe For Work but you're sitting in your own house right now so get freaky with it on a weekday.https://t.co/yW5R9iis21
