Neisson Joins Allpossibledaiquiris

14 July, 2026

Among the great classic cocktails, few recipes reveal the character of the base spirit as transparently as the Daiquiri. Rum, lime juice, and sugar syrup. Just three ingredients. Precisely because the recipe is so simple, changing the rum dramatically alters the aroma, texture, and finish. Rather than masking the spirit, the lime and sugar serve to highlight its unique personality. This idea, that the Daiquiri is fundamentally a cocktail for expressing rum, is the philosophy behind the Italian project Allpossibledaiquiris.

World Martini Day

Today is World Martini Day.If you were to ask where to drink the best Martini in Rome, there would be many possible answers. But if you love classic cocktails, there is one bar I would recommend without hesitation, Stravinskij Bar, located in the courtyard of one of Rome’s most iconic luxury hotels, Hotel de Russie.The bar takes its name from the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, who frequently stayed at the hotel. Step through the entrance and the noise of the city seems to disappear. Surrounded by lush greenery, the space feels like a hidden garden in the heart of Rome.

Our latest stop was Quartiere Africano, a peaceful residential neighborhood just a short ride from central Rome on Metro Line B. Despite its name, Quartiere Africano is not an area predominantly inhabited by African communities. The neighborhood takes its name from streets such as Viale Libia and Viale Eritrea, which were named during the district’s development in the 1930s after Italy’s former African colonies.
