This Video Of Stanley Tucci Making A Cocktail Is So Soothing

As we continue to deal with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, sometimes we're surprised by what brings a bright spot to our day. For many people on Tuesday (April 21), that bright spot came in the form of an Instagram post shared by the actor Stanley Tucci.

In the video, posted on Monday evening (April 20), Tucci shows his followers how to make a perfect Negroni cocktail. Smooth jazz plays in the background as the Devil Wears Prada actor shows his followers how to craft the brightly colored cocktail.

It's no surprise that Tucci's tutorial is captivating—audiences have long loved watching him on the big screen in roles like The Hunger Games and Spotlight. If you were too relaxed by Tucci's video and missed the steps to craft a Negroni of your own, here's what you need to do: add ice to a cocktail shaker before pouring a double shot of gin, a shot of sweet vermouth, and a shot of Campari inside. Once all the ingredients are in, shake the cocktail.

Even Chris Evans was enamored by Tucci's viral video. He reposted the video on Twitter and added: "I. Love. Stanley. Tucci. On some (most) days after we finished filming on the first Captain America movie, Stanley would make us martinis in his trailer. He’s an absolute gem. However cool, fun, witty, and charming you think he is, double it and you’re halfway there."

Let's keep our fingers crossed that Tucci's next cocktail masterclass will be for those Captain America martinis.
