orange bitters
1 orange twist

Campari Fennel Apertif

Posted Wed, 05/29/2013 - 18:36 by Jon

From Food&Wine, a cocktail recipe to help get rid of some of those leftover fennel fronds (http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/campari-fennel-aperitif). I've modified it to sub out sparkling wine for Lillet Blanc (or dry vermouth) and soda water.

Handful of fennel fronds, plus 1 small sprig for garnish
3 lemon wheels plus juice of half a lemon
1.5 ounces Lillet Blanc
1.5 ounce Campari

In a cocktail shaker, combine the fennel fronds with the lemon wheels, Lillet blanc, Campari and lemon juice. Muddle well, 20-30 times.

Add ice and shake well.

Negroni Sangria

Posted Sun, 06/24/2012 - 18:30 by Jon

Per serving:
equal parts Aperol and Gin
3 parts prosecco
less than 1 part summer fruit (strawberries, blueberries, sliced peaches - raspberries and blackberries don't stay together well)
sugar to taste.

For the individual serving, the sweet vermouth feels unneeded. Perhaps a 1/2 part, or St. Germain

For a pitcher:
4 cups assorted fresh summer fruit (berries, sliced peaches)
2 to 4 tablespoons sugar (optional)

1 cup Aperol or Campari
1 cup sweet vermouth
1 cup gin
2 750-ml bottles chilled Prosecco

Negroni

Posted Mon, 08/29/2011 - 19:16 by Jon

Equal parts:

gin
Campari
sweet vermouth

Mix with ice in a lowball.

If you have genever, this is one of the few cocktails where you can sub it in directly for gin, though TheGinisIN recommends "In fact, if you up the Genever and Vermouth in the 1:1:1 ratio to a 2:2:1 you come up with a cocktail that is the sophisticated brother of the Manhattan. The Campari brings a lot of the qualities that the bitters in a Manhattan bring to the table."
