What Makes the Perfect Gin & Tonic
FUL Magazine’s F.U.C.K. Nights are the live spin-off of our tabloid devoted to cocktail and dining culture. Each edition lifts a single idea off the page and puts it on the bar.
One night turns entirely on one of the most iconic, best-loved drinks of all: the gin and tonic. The setting is the elegant Companion Bar at the 25hours Hotel Firenze.
Guiding us through the botanicals, the backstories, and the creative variations is Antonio Galdi, editor-in-chief of Gintastico, the first Italian portal dedicated entirely to the world of gin. Alongside him behind the bar, the mixing craft of ICE, the Companion’s resident bartender, who pours three original takes on the gin and tonic.
Hosting the evening is Giacomo Iacobellis, FUL Magazine’s food & beverage editor, who walks the room between bar-stool banter and the technical fine print, in true F.U.C.K. style.
More than a tasting, it’s a chance to get together, learn something new, and celebrate one of the great urban rituals: the aperitivo done right.
