GIN, CAMPARI AND GRAPEFRUIT COCKTAIL

Our road trip to California was wonderful. We are holding tight to the vacation energy that we trailed home with us. It helps that our best friends who live next door are school teachers who are actually off work for the next few months, and it also helps that it’s been the kind of weather that invites mornings at the beach and long afternoons in the backyard.

On the tail end of our trip we stayed with good friends in Northern California and they introduced me to a simple, ice cold, Campari cocktail that is helping us hang onto that fleeting feeling of vacation. I often drink Negroni cocktails in the cooler months but it hadn’t occurred to use similar ingredients in the summer! I have a few fun photos from our trip that I’ll share soon, in the meantime mix yourself up one of these bitter, tart, refreshing cocktails and enjoy the start to summer wherever you are.
