Cinema and cocktails, a journey dedicated to the experience of taste, aesthetic research and the ecstasy of perfume to celebrate

the last 100 intense years of world film art through the

evocative power of mixology .

The Box Hotel in Riccione (RN), a reference point for innovation in hospitality on the Riviera Romagnola, has decided to entrust the concept of its new drinklist to the well-known world bartending champion Bruno Vanzan.

From this important collaboration, a real guide to

"Moviexology

" was born, launched on the occasion of World Cocktail Day 2022.


In the process of synthesizing directors, actors and sets on film Bruno Vanzan and The Box started from the 1920s, with the creation of the cocktail "

One Gatsby "

which celebrates the book of the same name published in 1925 and brought for the first time to the big screen in 1974 with Robert Redford: the re-enactment of those years of decadence, of dreams of glory thwarted by vanity, takes place through the mixing of gin cucumber infusion, historic green, herbal liqueur, lime and aloe soda.

The tour in the history of the seventh art then continues in the '30s with

"Eterna Giovinezza"

(rum, rose liqueur, apple juice, tomato water)

dedicated to Walt Disney's "Grimilde" of 1937, in the 40s with the "

Lili Marlene", (

vodka, apricot jam, lime, corn syrup, egg white

)

an authentic tribute to the star of that decade Marlene Dietrich, and over the years '50 thanks to

“Giolievo Bruciata”

(burnt citronella grappa, verjus, pomegranate), cocktail of the same name from the famous film with James Dean from 1955.


And it is precisely from this period that Marianna Chiaraluce and Alfredo Monetti, entrepreneurs who revived the old pre-existing hotel giving life to The Box, found the common thread of their hospitality project that celebrates the symbolic values ​​of those years: "We are in the 1950s and Riccione is in the full tourist boom, a city in turmoil that has made its natural characteristics, sea and beach, and human ones, hospitality and entrepreneurial skills, the essential elements of its success - explain Chiaraluce and Monetti - these years that the Hotel Nevada was built, a small family-run pension a stone's throw from the sea next to Viale Ceccarini.

Although more than 60 years have passed, due to a strange game of fate,

we managed to find a postcard from 1958 online where we can admire it in its graceful simplicity.

This is the common thread that led us, in 2017, to want to open an unconventional hotel on the Romagna Riviera: The Box, in fact, was born from the desire to offer something completely different and new, like our drinklist, the result of so much work of research".


The journey then continues in the legendary 60s, with a tribute to the mania for blonde interpreters by Alfred Hitchcock, or

"Alfred's blonde",

and in Stanley Kubrick's psychedelic visions that made the 70s immortal: to this period in fact, "

LattePiù" is dedicated,

the famous drink that Alex and his gang of rascals gobble up in "A Clockwork Orange", an iconic feature film released in 1971.

"A home away from home"

, the cocktail star of the glowing '80s phase, takes instead I am inspired by the 40th anniversary of the publication of "ET" which occurs this year, while the 90s are dedicated to the visionary and philosophical David Fincher:

"Where is my mind"

wants to be a tribute to the charismatic character of Tyler Durden, personified by Brad Pitt and star of "Fight Club" in 1996.

The new millennium opens instead with the epic of Quentin Tarantino, to which

"In good and bad luck"

is dedicated , whose aesthetic refers to Uma Thurman's yellow-black jumpsuit in 2003's "Kill Bill" and continues with a another famous hotel on the big screen, immortalized by Wes Anderson with "Grand Budapest Hotel" in 2014.


The grand tour of "Moviexology" ends with the great classics of

Bruno Vanzan,

the world bartending champion who created in recent years the

"Sushi Martini",

the cocktail that earned him the IBA world title and proposed in a reloaded version, and the

"MOV"

, the iconic purple drink unique in Italian mixology.

"Having signed this innovative and ambitious drinklist together with The Box staff is a source of great pride and satisfaction for me, celebrating at the same time the historicity of cinema and the power of mixology was an opportunity that I absolutely did not want to miss - underlines Bruno Vanzan - Being part of such an innovative project with an important cultural value is also a further stimulus to create something truly unique and which I hope will inspire people to enjoy their renewed freedom of expression and make them experience truly unforgettable moments during the summer is coming.

To crown this journey through arts so different from each other, cinematography and mixology,
