This is one of my go-tos when ordering at a new cocktail bar. It’s rarely on the menu, but any bartender worth their salt will know how to make it. Essentially, it’s a Negroni that substitutes the Gin for Bourbon and ups the ratio a bit.
What you’ll need:
How to make it:
Stir all the ingredients over ice. Serve in a chilled coupé.
Legend has it that this drink is a variation of the Americano, but “Count” Negroni (Who was not a count) found the drink to weak so asked the bartender to substitute the sparkling water with gin.
This is truly one of the easiest drinks to do well, and hardest to fuck up. If you are starting a home bar, I always say this is the first drink you need to be able to make!
What you will need:
How to make it:
Stir all the ingredients well, strain into an old fashioned glass. Garnish with an Orange peel. Make sure to rub it a little around the edge to leave some for the nose.

In my experience, less than you think. Startups tend to look in all the wrong directions to establish how much capital they need to take in, instead of actually looking at what they need in order to accomplish a clearly defined mission, which is what really matters.
In this post, I want to touch upon some of the main fallacies I experience when talking to startups and give you a simple process to establish what you actually need and what would be best to have and how to get closer to the latter.
This is all completely irrelevant to efficiently reaching the goals you’ve set to make your business successful. Even worse, I quite often experience founders saying things along the lines of:
Let’s set our goal a bit higher than what we actually need, that way, if we don’t raise the full amount, we’ll still be okay.
This is an understandable logic, but completely misguided nonetheless. If you come to an intelligent investor with bloated budgets, she will see straight through it, interpreting it as either–in the best case–incompetence, and–in the worst–as you trying to scam out money of your investors.
Instead, here’s the steps to go through to determine how much you need to raise:

I was asked to write a piece about how I, as a marketing professional, believe we can help blockchain technology to “cross the chasm” and become more widely adopted in society.
I always ask people who say they don’t “get” what a blockchain is, whether or not they really “get” the internet. I first heard this question being asked to an audience at a WIRED MONEY talk in Berlin by the CEO and Founder of Funderbeam, Kaidi Ruusalepp.
Typically, the majority of people who understand the internet, also understand the concept of a blockchain, and vice versa — which means, if you don’t understand one, you probably don’t understand the other.
