La tua mano, Andrey... 

-- Ricordami, ricordami, ma dimentica il mio destino! Ricordami -- Goncharov!

-”Lament of Goncharov”, performer unknown, only found on the Matteo cut and the Italian cut, though at least one studio cut retains the “La tua mano, Andrey” vocal, slightly distorted and muffled -- listen closely when “In The Church At Midnight” begins during the eponymous scene. 

This is a drink that closely resembles one seen in the brief flashback to Goncharov’s time as a discotheque owner, and what he prepares -- but does not drink -- during a later scene at home. It’s clear that Goncharov appears to have embraced the consumption habits of Naples, from the variety of reasonably high-quality pantry staples(Katya’s anchovies!) to one bottle he picks up very clearly being a 1970s-era Strega bottle, but he rarely consumes them, and stains the sunny Southern Italian hues of these liqueurs a dark red like dried blood with the Northern Italian frizzante Lambrusco, a reminder of his own stained past, a sense that he is not of anywhere anymore. 

Sangue di San Gennaro | ABV: 14.25% | Yield: 7.40 fl oz | Spritz, Built in Glass, Aperitivo, Day Drinks, Wine Cocktails, Regional

1.25 fl oz or 37.5 ml Strega Liquore

1.25 fl oz or 37.5ml Limoncello 

4 fl oz or 120ml Lambrusco red wine  

Soda Water to Top

Briefly shake together the Strega and the Limoncello(especially if using homemade limoncello -- it integrates easier than stirring) then strain into bulbous red wine glass or balloon glass. Add pre-cracked ice carefully [you don’t want to risk damaging the glassware] and then the Lambrusco. Take a swizzle stick* and gently stir or swizzle the liqueurs and wine to integrate. Top with soda water, about 1-2 ounces. Garnish with a twist of orange.

*here appropriately the steel airplane stir sticks by Viski, ironic imagery of almost of the journey that led Goncharov to Naples, and his inability to escape the fate he seals for himself.
