My boyfriend dubbed this drink The Citrus Queen: 2oz Roku gin 3/4 oz Italicus 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice 1/2 oz Cointreau 1/2 oz orange blossom honey 3 dashes lavender bitters 3 large mint leaves Lemon zest garnish Add honey and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker, stir until honey dissolves. Add mint leaves and muddle, then add gin, Italicus, Cointreau, lavender bitters and ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Finish off with expressed lemon zest. OR if you want a lighter drink, add to a Collins glass and top with club soda. I tried it both ways and loved it. It really just depends on what you’re craving in the moment.

“ Con la legge 4 maggio 2007, n. 56 è stato [...] varato un ulteriore “giorno della memoria”, dedicato alle vittime del terrorismo. Nel presentarlo, il presidente della Repubblica Giorgio Napolitano parlò di un pubblico “riconoscimento che l’Italia da tempo doveva alle vittime del terrorismo”, per “colmare un vuoto di memoria storica e di attenzione umana e civile”. I risultati immediati non furono particolarmente significativi. Dopo la sua approvazione infatti, attraverso le prefetture, i comuni furono invitati a far conoscere al governo le eventuali iniziative assunte in merito; in provincia di Torino, su 315 comuni, solo quello del capoluogo rispose all’invito! Nel corso del dibattito parlamentare, rimbalzarono accenni alla cosiddetta “legge Nassiriya” del 2004, per unificare il ricordo di “tutte le vittime del terrorismo interno e in parte del terrorismo internazionale” (Marco Boato richiamò una sua proposta di legge a favore delle vittime della strage di Kindu, un eccidio che risaliva al novembre del 1961). Si chiesero atti riparatori nei confronti di ogni specie di terrorismo, quello stragista ovviamente, poi quelli di sinistra, di destra, di stampo politico-mafioso, di matrice internazionale. Si proposero diverse ricorrenze, tra le quali appunto il 23 maggio (strage di Capaci, in cui morirono Giovanni Falcone, la moglie Francesca Morvillo e tre agenti di scorta), o il 12 novembre (strage di Nassiriya in Iraq, con ventitré militari italiani uccisi). La discussione più accesa riguardò due diverse opzioni politiche, culturali, storiografiche, per due date diverse: il 9 maggio, giorno dell’assassinio di Aldo Moro, quella che fu effettivamente scelta, e il 12 dicembre, quella che figurava invece nella prima proposta di legge presentata il 29 novembre 2006 dall’Unione familiari vittime per stragi (che comprendeva le Associazioni delle stragi di piazza Fontana, piazza della Loggia, treno Italicus, stazione di Bologna del 2 agosto 1980, Rapido 904, Firenze via dei Georgofili) insieme all’Associazione memoria dei caduti per fatti di terrorismo delle forze dell’ordine e dei magistrati. Nelle motivazioni avanzate dai sostenitori del 12 dicembre (“furono anche i cittadini semplici, impegnati nella vita quotidiana che vennero colpiti, subendo lo stravolgimento della loro vita, del modo di stare insieme e, nonostante ciò, reagirono, non accettarono quella violenza, respinsero il ricatto terroristico e si costituirono in associazioni per non far dimenticare il senso di quella violenza, le sue ragioni, le sue sofferenze. Da piazza Fontana in poi furono i cittadini che reagirono unitariamente, cioè al di là delle sigle o dei gruppi di appartenenza e bloccarono i vari tentativi di stravolgere e condizionare la democrazia italiana a fronte delle ambiguità, delle inefficienze e della connivenza di parte dello Stato”), ricorrevano non solo l’orrore e lo sgomento per la strage ma anche la fierezza di una risposta immediata, di uno strenuo impegno civile per la difesa della democrazia: “Non dobbiamo dimenticare le moltitudini di persone che hanno partecipato ai funerali e alle manifestazioni dopo le varie stragi a Milano, Brescia, Bologna, Firenze e Napoli: alle ambiguità delle autorità è stata contrapposta una risposta ferma e decisa dei lavoratori e dei cittadini che in prima persona hanno impedito che con le stragi si arrivasse a stravolgere l’ordinamento repubblicano”. Tutte queste ragioni furono però disattese. “

Warm Weather means Cool Spritzes
Warmer weather always ushers in the season of the Spritz. It’s just goes hand in hand with the higher degrees outside. For me, it also brings up memories of Italy and good times. But it’s not just me. I was out for a girls’ night the other evening and I saw two ladies enjoying a spritz or two. They were having them in the normal big bulbous gin glasses and not the one I used for mine in this…

Maybe I was already having a bad mental health day, maybe the 46th parallel of latitude isn't enough sun for me to be sane, maybe something about bergamot or this particularly spirit, maybe Billy Corgan's politics being 110 degrees upside down due to wacko libertarian capitalistic politics and all those podcast... but one bergamot spritz and I was basically ready to get my Antonin Artaud on and resolved to do all sorts of crazy things, especially in America but it also felt as if it couldn't really wait. Fortunately, I'm a nice guy, so it could wait... but who knows about when I'm back.
That's officially the craziest I've ever felt after just one cocktail, but again, something isn't quite right with me today. The guy sitting next to me even asked if I was tired. I said yes, even though I slept 9 hours and then took a nap for another hour. I'm always tired... in fact I think of that song, Brick, by Ben Folds Five a lot these days... the brick is me.
This is what my spritz was composed of, anyhow, to go with my Neapolitan pizza. It was ever so tasty and I'd have it again:
Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto is the creation of leading authority in Italian spirits, Giuseppe Gallo, crafted from a recipe that dates back to the late 1800s. Rosolio, meaning “the dew of the sun” was the original Italian aperitivo once enjoyed by the King of Savoia and served during royal parties.

My submission to Art of Italicus Aperitivo Challenge 2023: “Italian Baroque” 1.5oz Italicus Rosolio Di Bergamotto 0.5oz Lemon Blossom Infused Gin 0.25oz Meyer Lemon Juice 1.5oz Meyer Lemon Leaf Bitter Tea Garnished with Edible Black Paint infused with Meyer Lemon Blossoms, Dried Meyer Lemon Leaf, Meyer Lemon & Honey leather Chip and Castelvetrano Olive The drink was inspired by Italian Baroque, Caravaggio and Lemon trees I saw in Italy. My intention was to incorporate Lemon/Lemon tree as much as possible and in as many different purpose as I can apply without making it dominant flavor. I still wanted to focus Italicus as a main shining component. I also wanted to make the drink subtle yet as dramatic and elegant as possible visually, because that’s one of the aspects I love about Italian Baroque. Not to mention the colors of the drink, it subtly shouts classical Baroque palette. I also wanted to introduce a gestural movements in the drink as your eyes will follow from figures to figures or drapes to drapes in Caravaggio’s paintings. I believe I accomplished that with a stroke of edible paint, the shape of garnish and the glassware. This Aperitivo definitely has citrus as main backbone but also has a combination of bitterness from the Lemon Leaf Tea and floral notes from Meyer Lemon Blossoms. It’s almost like very feminine and inviting but at the same time quietly dramatic and elegant if I may say so myself. #italicus #rosoliodibergamotto #artofitalicus #aoi23 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpbSinrvbmw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Imagine Barbarians’ season 3 gives us Italicus, Flavus’ son IRL, looking to avenge his father, and a war-like relationship between him and Gaius cause they’re cousins after all
All these thoughts and theories that came in my mind when I realised Flavus has what looks like a wedding ring 😬😬😬😬

"The Celts were there, too, who, as Celtiberi, have added the Hiberi to their name. To die in battle is glorious to them, to cremate the body of such as do a crime, since they believe the spirit goes to the gods if some ravenous vulture eats the dead flesh".
-Silius Italicus, Punica.
Gustave Doré, A Celtic Sky Burial, 1866.
