Featuring Juno, our velvet hippo.

This made 2.

4 oz gin (Farmer's)

6 oz grapefruit juice

1 oz Campari

1 oz lime

8 oz tonic (fever tree light tonic, la mejor)

Stirred with ice, strained over fresh ice with one lime wedge squeezed in and put in. A little watery, the grapefruit maybe not quite perfect but it's good.

Because the fever tree comes in weird sized bottles, there was left over so I made a gin & tonic for my daughter's girlfriend. She did not like it but a splash of St. Germain fixed it for her.

Those look fantastic, but you've got to tell Juno to lay off the sauce

She is like a black hole, so much mass for her size. Our other dog is both taller and longer but they weigh the same amount.

And yes they were good - I don't generally like gin but somehow gin & tonic is better than anything else & tonic.

Why the Campari?

This sounds great. So refreshing for summer.

To make it a little more bitter & add a little bit of sweet, it made it better. Amplifies the grapefruit.

Thanks for sharing.
