Gardening That Grows With Me

Italian Gentleman

We went back and forth on how we were going to wade into our first taste test of this cocktail. Should we go Campari heavy, or play it safe and lean into the Bourbon. In the end we decided to go with the traditional 50/50 recipe. I quite enjoyed the bitter notes and can see more Campari based cocktails in our future

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ oz bourbon
  • 1 ½ oz Campari
  • ¾ oz fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ oz simple syrup
  • 2 dashes orange bitters

METHOD

Share ingredients with ice, double strain into chilled coupe. We went with no garnish.
