1 oz Campari

1oz orange liqueur

2 oz gin

2oz fresh grapefruit juice

6oz Fever Tree light tonic water

Shook first 4 ingredients with ice, stirred in the tonic water. Tried it and OMG way too sweet for me, bitterness perfect but so overwhelming sweet. Added:

Juice of an entire lemon

And it's delicious now. Like a bitter sparkling grapefruit lemonade. This recipe made 2 servings but I am having both. One for an aperitif and one for dessert.

Regular spumoni recipe has the Campari, gin, grapefruit, tonic and SUGAR. I cannot imagine.

Featuring my neighbor's ever so American truck, and my in between front garden, looking bare but I planted sunflowers & cosmos & giant marigold, they are wee sprouts now. Hopefully won't all get eaten by birds.

I riffed on this kind of concept for a cocktail I just call "brunch."

  • 3oz cocchi americano
  • 1.5oz grapefruit juice
  • ⅓oz (splash) each gin, campari, Aperol
  • Top with tonic or soda as you please (fevertree light tonic for me too)

Looks good! Campari and grapefruit juice is such a good match.
