I was going to make a martini or the much-beloved Negroni (truly unimpeachable, perfect cocktails), but instead I'm going this route, which is more befitting a warm sunny day.
It's basically a riff on an Americano (Campari + vermouth + soda), with gin standing in for vermouth, plus a strawberry infusion and a squeeze of blood orange. Complex, crisp, refreshing -- stellar quencher for a weekend afternoon!
And if you're craving this today but haven't infused Campari, you can always take a shortcut and muddle a few strawberries into the cocktail, double-straining when you pour.)
Ingredients
2 oz strawberry-infused Campari* (to taste)
1 oz gin
squeeze of citrus (any you like!)
soda to top

Method
Combine and stir with ice. Garnish.
Pour Campari over sliced ripe strawberries and let it sit for a day or two before straining.
