Clearly inspired by this week’s 70 degree weather, a word on Campari cocktails (because Campari goes best with a little sunshine). A first time Campari drinker is likely to pucker up and spit it right back out, unless they have a taste for the bitter or are Italian. So mixing it might be the better gateway to this Italian favorite. Here are a few Campari-based cocktails:
Blood Orange Martini
Long before Whole Foods carried blood orange juice or vodka and blood orange juice cocktails were the rage, people made Blood Orange Martini’s the old fashioned way… without blood orange juice. Gin and OJ with a splash of Campari, served up with a Campari stained orange slice (just pour a splash of Campari on the orange slice). Delicious.
