Rome with a View

From The Essential Cocktail Book 🛟:

A Roman walks into a bar… He holds up two fingers and says “give me five beers.”

Picture this: a cocktail that’s like a rollercoaster for your taste buds! It’s a wild mix of a little bitterness and a whole lot of “wake up and smell the roses” refreshment.

Now, I get it, Campari Aperitivo 🛟 has a hint of bitterness that can make some do a double-take. But fear not! This concoction is like your cool tour guide into the world of Campari’s unique flavor. It’s like the first step on the journey to the land of “Hmm, this is intriguing.”

I stumbled upon this awesome recipe in none other than “The Essential Cocktail Book 🛟.” And guess what? It’s got the seal of approval from yours truly. You can tap on the hyperlink to check it out on Bookshop.org.


But here’s the kicker: I went the extra mile and used this super fancy glass. It was actually designed specifically for a cocktail called the Pearl Diver (which, by the way, is still on my cocktail bucket list).
