3 1/2 oz. chilled Champagne

Notes
Oh-so-classy drink, great for a morning reception or brunch, but I can’t see myself drinking it too often. It just seems to demand a special occasion.
Rating
- Champagne makes this drink a 2-star affair. I’m not going to buy and open a whole bottle of champagne just to make one for myself.
Recipe:
3 parts Campari
7 parts Orange Juice
Build in glass over cubed ice.
Notes:
From the Drinkboy forum article I found the recipe in: “This cocktail want to remember Garibaldi, an Italian famous hero. He landed in Sicily during the independent Italian war with his standing army made by 1000 men. The distinctive element of the uniform was a red scarf. So oranges from Sicily and red (Campari) for the scarf remember us this important man.”
Rating:
- Meh, no big deal.
Recipe:
1 oz Gin
Juice of 1 Lemon
splash of Green Creme de Menthe
Dash of Angostura Bitters
Shake the ingredients well with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
