Stanley Tucci's cocktail-making video featuring a Negroni went viral during the early pandemic, with his wife Felicity Blunt initially posting it for laughter amidst hardship. The video resonated widely, even catching attention from celebrities like Chris Evans and leading to media coverage on its popularity. Blunt admitted they overindulged in Negronis during lockdown, now associating the drink with that challenging time. Despite this, she anticipates returning to it eventually. The video highlighted how simple joys, like cocktail-making, provided much-needed distraction amid the pandemic's uncertainties.
In the depth of the pandemic's dark early days, with a lack of any work gossip or other regular distractions, the internet quickly jumped on the bandwagon.
It was her idea to post it on Mr. Tucci's Instagram account (which, according to Ms. Blunt, was a bit moribund at the time) on April 20, 2020.
I think we overdosed on Negronis during lockdown, Ms. Blunt said. She now associates the taste with the pandemic.
The Guardian published an article asking, Why is Stanley Tucci making a Negroni so hot? It was lovely and funny, Ms. Blunt said.
