Some people create cocktails. Livio Lauro creates worlds around them.
Today, we’re celebrating the incredible imagination of Livio — an architect of liquid storytelling, master of experiential mixology, and the visionary behind these concepts created for our Sylvester Stallone × Carbonadi Vodka presentation.
Drawing inspiration from pivotal moments in Tulsa King, Livio transformed three cocktails into three completely immersive experiences — where the ingredients, the vessel, and even the way each drink was revealed became part of the story.
🌉 THE MARTIGIANO — The Golden Bridge
Carbonadi Vodka • Porcini-Infused Dry Vermouth • Saline • Roasted Hazelnut Oil • 24-Month Parmigiano Reggiano
Inspired by Season 3, Episode 7, “Art of War,” where Dwight invokes the idea of building your enemy a golden bridge — giving them a way to retreat with dignity after they’ve been outmaneuvered.
📖 CARBONADI MARTINI ITALIANO — The Hidden Book
Carbonadi Vodka • Italian Dry Vermouth • Black Olive Brine • Cerignola Olive
For the second creation, Livio turned to Season 3, Episode 2, “The Fifty.”
In the episode, Cleo reveals a hidden reserve of 50-year-old Montague bourbon — something rare, valuable and deliberately concealed.
The Carbonadi Martini Italiano was hidden inside a book, inviting the guest to open it and discover the cocktail within.
🎲 CAIPIROSKA ITALIANA — The Giant Ice Die
Carbonadi Vodka • Villa Massa Limoncello • Simple Syrup • Fresh Lemon
For the final cocktail, we returned to “Art of War.”
With gambling playing an important role in Dwight gaining leverage over Attorney General Sackrider, Livio took the reference and made it impossible to miss.
The bright, citrus-forward Caipiroska Italiana was presented inside an oversized die made entirely from ice.
A cocktail inside a melting piece of sculpture.
A nod to gambling.
And a reminder that sometimes the biggest creative risks deliver the most memorable moments.
What makes Livio’s work remarkable is that nothing is there simply for decoration. Every ingredient, object and presentation choice has a reason for being there. The story begins before the cocktail ever reaches your lips.
