How to enjoy the perfect Negroni, the Italian way
How better to kick off the celebrations of Negroni week (18-24 September) than catching up with our Milan based friend, Founder and Creative Director of Atelier Gourmode, Clara Nanut. Clara gives us an insight into all things Negroni whether it’s cosying up for a homemade version of the classic Italian cocktail or heading down to the chicest spot in town to test out the experts at the Bulgari. However you take your Negroni, take it in a NUDE Glass.
By Clara Nanut @gour.modeA bittersweet symphony of a deep ruby red, a clichéd choice but always a good choice, one of the many Italian genial inventions, synonymous of the worldwide famous aperitivo.
Italians love it both perfect serve and “sbagliato” but but let’s go with order.
History of Negroni
See, rumor has it... that it all started in the far 1919, when a thirsty Count called Camillo Negroni, asked his bartender friend at Caffe Casoni in Florence, to strengthen his favourite cocktail – the Americano – by replacing the soda water with gin.The history blends with the legend but of some things we can be sure: we Italians love to enjoy life, know how to enjoy a good Negroni and that today I have the flattering task to tell you how.
How Clara likes it at home
As a Milanese by adoption and as a tastemaker – which doesn’t strictly contemplate the complex cocktail handicraft - I could never sip it at home except in its “Sbagliato” version, which means of course “Mistaken”.
It was invented by chance at Bar Basso in the 1970's, when a happy accident occured between the bottle of gin and Prosecco, which gave to this iconic recipe the well-known sparkling and refreshing twist.Ingredients:
1 part Prosecco
1 part Sweet Vermouth
1 part Bitter
Ice
Orange slice or peel
Serve it in a Caldera glass and treat yourself to this relaxing time.
How Clara likes it at the cocktail bar
Perfect serve, of course! If at home we can’t reach perfection, at the counter we expect it indeed.
A local insider would choose the exclusive and secluded Bulgari Bar and order a pure classic Negroni with a fancy allure.Ingredients:
1 part Gin
1 part Sweet Vermouth
1 part Bitter
Ice
Orange slice or peel
Ask the barman to pour it in an Alba glass, sip it and enjoy.

Today we’re introducing Denis Gor (@denisgor). As a professional bartender and mixologist, as well as a certified sommelier, it’s no surprise that Denis - based in Louisville, Kentucky - has placed highly in two of our editions of our annual Mixology Competition.
We first noticed Denis’ work through his remarkable grasp of mixology and commitment to his craft, packaged with a beautiful visual language. We thought his work would be a perfect fit with NUDE Glass, and it didn’t take long for us to start working together… Those who follow us on Instagram (@nudeglass) may already recognise his striking style, and mouth-watering cocktails.
Today, we’re showcasing a range of different cocktails Denis has created, paired especially with a range of our collections: from festive-inspired drinks to a romantic Valentine’s affair.
Fair Isle Collins
60ml London dry gin
20ml Meyer lemon juice
20ml Grenadine
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Soda water, to top
Sage, to garnish
Shake the first four ingredients together and strain into a Hepburn Collins glass filled with ice. Top with soda and garnish with fresh sage.
The Fair Isle Collins has a beautiful red/green color contrast to bring in the familiar festive season colors. I wanted to use pomegranates with meyer lemons as both fruits are in season now, and the Angostura bitters added a hint of baking spice to round out the botanicals used in the gin.
Evergreen Daiquiri
45ml Blanche Armagnac
15ml Rhum Agricole Blanc
20ml Kiwi syrup*
20ml Lime juice
2 dashes Spruce and Birch bitters
Absinthe, to garnish from an atomizer
Shake all ingredients without absinthe and strain into Hepburn coupe glass. Garnish with a pump of absinthe.
*Kiwi Syrup is equal parts by weight strained kiwi juice and sugar blended together.
The Evergreen Daiquiri was inspired by the festive association we have with the color green. I used several ingredients that are naturally green in color, such as limes, kiwi, and sugar cane. The spruce and birch bitters reminded me of the smell of a fresh Christmas tree, and the botanicals in absinthe added a lovely anise bouquet to perfume the cocktail.
Holiday in the Sun
15ml Campari
15ml Overproof Jamaican rum
30ml Cinnamon-grapefruit cordial*
20ml Coconut syrup**
2 scoops Blood orange sorbet
60ml Brut Champagne or Cava
Lime zest, to garnish
Pour the sparkling wine into the Stem Zero Volcano glass. Blend remaining ingredients together with a cup of crushed ice, then pour into the glass over the sparkling wine and garnish with fresh lime zest. Serve with a straw.
*Cinnamon-grapefruit cordial
250g Grapefruit juice
250g Sugar
10g Grapefruit peel
2.5g Citric acid
2 Ceylon cinnamon sticks
Sous vide at 135F for 2 hours, then strain out peels and leave cinnamon sticks to infuse in the fridge overnight before straining.
**Coconut syrup
Blend together equal parts by weight of full-fat coconut milk and simple syrup.
This cocktail was inspired by the Champagne Pina Colada served at Coupette in London. Holiday parties are often celebrated with Champagne, so I wanted to imagine what it would be like if somebody decided to go on holiday to a warmer climate rather than stay somewhere cold? The blood orange sorbet was tied together with the blend of Campari and cinnamon-grapefruit cordial. The funky rum and coconut syrup provided the tropical, warm-weather feeling, and lime zest was used on top for a little bit of aromatic brightness.
Pome and Fir Old Fashioned
45ml Calvados VS
15ml Douglas Fir Eau-de-vie
10ml Quince syrup*
2.5ml Pastis
Lemon twist, to garnish
Stir, strain over a big piece of ice into a Wayne rocks glass. Garnish with an expressed lemon twist.
*Quince syrup is 1/2 of a quince simmered in simple syrup over medium-low heat (covered) for about 20 minutes.
Calvados is one of my favorite spirits to use this time of year as the apple flavors are incredibly familiar to us. I added a Douglas Fir eau-de-vie to bring in familiar Christmas tree notes, and wanted to express more of those pome fruit notes by complimenting the Calvados with a quince syrup. A little bit of pastis added a final anise note to tie the eau-de-vie together with the pome fruits, and the lemon was used to brighten up the cocktail.
Bouquet Negroni
Housed in our Finesse Whisky SOF Glass, Denis’ ‘Bouquet Negroni’ is a romantic take on the classic cocktail.
30ml Blanco Tequila
30ml Bianco Vermouth
20ml Italicus
10ml Campari
1 dash Rosewater
Stir and strain into a rocks glass and garnish with a lemon wedge.

This month, we partnered with our friends JuneShine, the hard kombucha specialists, who’ve created several one-of-a-kind 6% ABV drinks from all-natural, organic ingredients. Started by a team of adventurers, artists and creatives who share a passion (and the desire to leave a positive impact on the environment), JuneShine’s mission is to brew the highest quality, healthiest jun kombucha - with love.
Unlike many of the pre-made drinks out there, JuneShine pride themselves on using no artificial coloring, GMOs, pesticides, or processed corn or rice syrup: making their drinks less taxing on both the body and the environment. Like traditional kombucha, JuneShine contains probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, and - they promise - a good time.
We invited the team to pair up several of their hard kombuchas with our glassware, give you an introduction to what they’re all about, as well as to the world of hard kombucha!
What is JuneShine and how did the brand come about?
It all started as we were wandering the aisles of our local grocery store. We noticed there was a sustainable, transparent option in nearly every consumer category–except alcohol. This led us to ask: why do we know so much about the food we eat, but so little about the alcohol we drink? With no solid answers in sight, we grew frustrated by the lack of honest transparent alcohol brands catering to our healthy, active lifestyle. And so, we decided to start our own.
What’s unique about JuneShine?
JuneShine is the most delicious, refreshing, honest hard kombucha around. Our flavors span the spectrum—from tropical to hoppy, bright to bold. Everything we produce is brewed through a two-step organic fermentation process similar to craft beer brewing. We use only 100% organic ingredients—green tea, honey, SCOBY, organic cane sugar, brewers yeast, organic fruit juice and spices. Our brewers come from some of the best craft breweries in the country.
And after a myriad of trials, tastings and test batches, we found the perfect recipe to elevate the alcohol content. We use only organic honey and organic cane sugar in our fermentation and the residual sugar in our final product comes from organic fruit. Once complete, we add organic juices and spices to taste, creating unique and refreshingly smooth flavors without the junk found in other mass produced alcoholic beverages.
What is kombucha/hard kombucha?
Traditional kombucha is made by combining black or green tea with a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (aka. SCOBY) and which causes the beverage to ferment. In the fermentation process, the SCOBY converts the sugar into CO2 and alcohol, in turn creating a bright, bubbly beverage. Traditional kombucha can clock in around 3 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), but anything listed as non-alcoholic will usually be less than 0.5 percent ABV.
Making Hard Kombucha takes that process further—intentionally fermented to be an alcoholic beverage. Its ABV is similar to that of beer. After the first fermentation, additional sugar and yeast in a secondary fermentation process that converts that sugar into more alcohol. The specific formula varies significantly from brand to brand.
Does glassware factor into what you create – and if so – how?
Absolutely! We take great pride in thoughtfully brewing and sharing our hard kombucha. There’s so much delight to be had with the details in every step of the process. Having gorgeous glassware - like NUDE’s - to enjoy the fruits of our labor is like placing the perfect punctuation at the end of a beautiful sentence. Great glassware is just as functional as it is fun. It’s a way to add even more personality to our final product—from the way it helps accentuate the sensory experience to the way it looks and feels in hand. There’s just something so satisfying about seeing something you’ve worked so hard on poured perfectly into a picturesque vessel.
Any advice for those looking to make more conscious choices when it comes to the drinks they choose?
Ask questions! We know so much about where the food we eat comes from and how/where the clothes we wear are made, but when it comes to alcohol there have always been so many more question marks. But that’s changing. We’ve set out to change the perception of what a beverage can be. Honest. Transparent. Sustainable. We encourage everyone to seek out brands that are transparent and thoughtful in their processes from start to finish.

Creating a cocktail isn’t just about flavour, but about creating a great experience.
This month, we invited Murray Anderson (better known as @thewestmount) to curate an edit of cocktails for #NUDEFridayCocktails, showcasing a range of simple, delicious drinks with our glassware.
Murray is no stranger to NUDE, having partnered with us multiple times, and consistently bringing an infectious energy and brilliant creations – all the way from sunny Scotland. As a dear friend of ours, we interviewed Murray to let him share more of his story with you, the NUDE community.
Read more below, and find a selection of Murray’s June recipes as we head straight into summer.
A one on one with Murray
Where are you based?
Currently, I am living in a small village just outside of Glasgow, Scotland.
What led you to mixology – and content creation?
Wow, where to start... To cut a long story short, I fell in love with the science of flavour and began to capture some of the cocktails I made with my iPhone. I then began to fall in love with not just the creativity in mixology, but the creativity involved in photography and content creation!
Where do you find most inspiration for your work?
I love trying to evoke memories in my cocktails and photography, so I tend touse fond memories of my childhood and past experiences.
Which ingredient do you find yourself using most – and why?
If I could narrow it down to one type of ingredients, it would be fresh herbs. I love using natural ingredients in cocktails and finding ways to get the most out of them too.
Does glassware factor into what you create – and if so – how?
100%... I would say it’s a pretty underrated factor in creating a great cocktail. Creating a cocktail isn’t just about flavour, but about creating a great experience. I love keeping cocktails elegant and simple... One of the best ways to elevate a simple drink is through elegant glassware that matches the mood/overall feel of the drink.
What does mixology mean to you?
Honestly, it’s just about having fun with it. I used to take it all so seriously but I then realised it’s more about creating amazing drinks that people can recreate if they want to. Over the past year, I think we can all agree our bartending skills have massively improved and it’s now so apparent that great cocktails can be made in the comfort of your own home with good friends or family.
Most fulfilling part of what you do?
Teaching people. Over the past few years, I have learned a few tips here and there and I love passing that information on.
Words of advice for those looking to start their mixology journey?
Don’t ever be afraid to let your creativity take over.

NUDEFridayCocktails Spring Vibes
The world is in bloom, enjoy it with a NUDE spring inspired cocktail.
This month, we invited mixologist and friend Morten Krag of The Cocktail Blog to create and share a selection of bespoke cocktails for our #NUDEFridayCocktails series. Based in Viborg, Denmark, Morten’s background in mixology stems from an early age and began with distinct memories of many different smells, senses, and colours that arose from his father’s botanically-infused aquavit recipes.
For Morten, mixology is not just a career, but a passion in exploring, experimenting, and pushing the boundaries of what the norm is – as an act of expression. What followed from curiosity has turned into a passion spanning all things mixology, including an authoritative Instagram brand and mixology blog sharing new (and old) recipes alike.
We invited Morten to share some of his thoughts on his inspirations, favourite ingredient, glassware choices, and more…
A one on one with Morten
Where are you based?
Viborg, Denmark
Where do you find most inspiration for your work?
Through experimenting in my Home-Bar, from other Mixologists, from the "Gram", from the Classics.
Which ingredient do you find yourself using most – and why?
I must say Gin - It's incredibly versatile, flexible, crisp, allowing other ingredients to shine as well, and can be enjoyed on its own as well.
Does glassware factor into what you create – and if so – how?
Glassware (and Ice) plays a vital and important role in my creations. To me a Cocktail is and should be more than ‘just’ the ingredients. A Cocktail should tell a tale, give an expression, offer emotions and tingle one's senses. The glassware plays an important part in doing so. It should complement the Cocktail ingredients, play its part, and be ‘one’ with the Cocktail itself.
Starting simple and practicing is your advice for aspiring mixologists – do you have any other words of advice?
Don't be afraid to be creative - both inside the glass and outside the glass. You might just find your own style and preferences.

With this year’s holiday season looking a little different, we teamed up with @socialgingirl to inspire you - whether professional or aspiring mixologists - to try something different to celebrate the upcoming year.
Originally from South Africa, Christine’s close relationship to mixology stems from an appreciation of the intricacies of craft spirits and a love of entertaining guests. Christine’s belief in drinking consciously - understanding the ingredients that go into our drinks, and focusing on quality over quantity - is reflected in her set of five recipes. As a self-taught mixologist championing a give-it-a-go mindset (and delicious cocktails!): we couldn’t think of anyone better to collaborate with.
