The Curious Life Of The Travelling Bartender by Joe Schofield
If you’ve read the prior article, you might recognize the protagonist of this short movie, the colorful Joe Schofield (who played the unidentified man in Millie’s short film)!
In his vignette, The Curious Life of the Travelling Bartender, Joe is the main character in this typical Wes Anderson style and aesthetic. Maniacally symmetrical framings, bizarre characters, pastel colors are all connected by a unique fil rouge humor.
Joe plays the role of a quirky travelling bartender in this Wes Anderson revival. He is sitting on the edge of his hotel bed and packing everything needed for his trip and for his Negroni Perfect serve (including all the tools, the items and the ingredients, such as, of course, Campari).
In the short movie, you can also hear the sounds of Joe’s Negroni being made, before he lifts the near finished drink up and into frame. The drink is in his hand, just the last touch with the Elderflower flower, and here you are, the White Flower Negroni.
| White Flower Negroni by Joe Schofield 25ml / 1 oz Gin 10ml / 1/3 oz Elderflower liqueur 25ml / 1 oz Campari 15ml / ½ oz SCHOFIELD’S Dry Vermouth Rocks Glass Block Ice Elderflower flower for a garnish Fill a mixing glass with ice.

“For a Negroni serve I really wanted to create something a bit off piece, […] but Campari is absolutely essential in a Negroni, it’s been used in that serve, in that iconic cocktail since its creation.” Cheers to that!
