A couple of weeks ago I felt like having a drink. I looked at my liquor shelf and, for some reason, the Campari bottle caught my eye. I have no idea why I have Campari; I have no memory of buying it and I really have no idea why the bottle was only three-quarters full. I had an orange so I thought I’d squeeze it and have fresh orange juice with the Campari. I took a sip and it was good, but it was a little too sweet from the OJ and a little too bitter from the Campari. I added some seltzer and took another sip. Now that’s fantastic. It’s a little sweet, a little bitter, and very refreshing. And since only one part of six is Campari, it’s not terribly alcoholic (which I like).
A week or so later I was watching Barefoot Contessa and the episode included a Campari Orange Spritzer. I was so surprised; her recipe was almost exactly the same as the one I had come up with!
