Description

Cocktails in Venice. Tales of a Barman, published by Lineadacqua, is the diary of the exciting activity that Walter Bolzonella (Head Barman at Belmond Cipriani Venice) carries out in his “laboratory”, where new drinks become classics and classics are reinvented in an innovative way.

In the heart of the Belmond Hotel Cipriani, you will find the Bar Gabbiano, the most exclusive place to enjoy the “dolcevita” in true Venetian style.
It is here that people meet and cocktails are created, often inspired by the suggestions and stories of the hotel’s guests. These include several celebrities who have left their mark on the bar’s creations.

For more than forty years, Head Barman Walter Bolzonella has been translating guests’ desires into a set of scents, colors and flavors that match their emotions. Inside the book Walter reveals his precious recipes, here accompanied by Matteo Bertelli’s watercolors.
