Sun May 25 08:37:38 -0700 2008 3719108 133355 jspear 3 3719348 it is absolutely campri-ish. but a little more complex in flavor. but if you do not like the medicine cabinet smell of campari you prob. won't like this either Sun May 25 10:33:22 -0700 2008 3719138 135229 thew 4 3720110 I have only had it with soda and it seemed harsh. I'm open to something new.... Sun May 25 18:05:24 -0700 2008 3719348 133355 jspear 5 3720237 Campari and grapefruit juice is one of my favorite summer drinks. I add a little soda to lighten and give a little fizz....

These two drinks lend themselfves well to bitters, so it's fun to experiment with all the difrferent flavors and complexities.

It's great Tue May 27 15:31:51 -0700 2008 3718956 172526 saffrongold 1 3734914 I enjoy an Aperol Sour: 5 parts Aperol 2 parts Lemon Juice 1 part Simple Syrup 2 dashes Orange Bitters There's a recipe on the bottle (I'm currently out of the stuff) that is good too (vodka + aperol / etc). I like it with soda water on ice too. Fri May 30 11:41:30 -0700 2008 3718956 77134 skokefoe 1 3737373 thanks i had orange vodka/aperol/grapefruit juice in a bar the other night very good indeed last night i modified the aperol sour recipe by replacing the orange bitters and simple syrup with stirrings blood orange bitters - which are plenty sweet on their own very yummy. tonight i plan on the same thing with gin added into the mix. Sat May 31 11:12:49 -0700 2008 3718956 135229 thew 1 3752853 Try mixing a bit of Aperol with white white. It can be very refreshing.

Shaken, served in a martini glass. It was delightful. I brought home a bottle of Aperol to try to recreate it. Thu Jun 19 14:47:58 -0700 2008 3718956 194696 Allison30030
