Spumoni Highball
2mon 20d ago by lemmy.world/u/RBWells in cocktails
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. I want this quote on a t-shirt haha:
