The Bitter Truth by Tiffanie Barriere
Movies and cocktails tell extraordinary stories, which come alive when movie directors and bartenders’ creative fire is lightened up. Both are thrill seeker, searching for emotions for people to feel.
Our Negroni Week movie campaign starts with the first short movie: The Bitter Truth, a modern thriller by Tiffanie Barriere.
In this thrilling scene inspired by the thriller films of David Fincher, Tiffanie Barriere is captured as a detective in her office at the police station, while she’s analyzing evidence on her desk, trying to uncover the final piece of the puzzle.
We can see photos, evidence (bags of ingredients) and maps spread across the table, when she figures out the missing piece of the puzzle she was looking for. Her expression changes. Finally, Tiffanie realizes what she needs for the final piece of her unique Negroni serve: the Orange slice. The case is solved and the Southern Orchard Negroni is born.
According to Tiffanie “there are so many components in this cocktail, so many botanicals and flavors, that can be quite a mystery. So, it works perfectly with my short film because we’re discovering, we’re looking, we’re hiding, we’re finding. The Campari adds to my cocktail because […] it really brings and elevates the color and the brightness”.
