Hey, heat wave, I’ll beat you at your own game today. I’ll drink boozy lemonade on the porch and you can just do your thing. As long as I have an ice cold glass of one of these Campari cocktails, I’m fine with you. Enjoy your stay, as I’ll be drinking Campari with lemonade. Last summer, I drank Rosé lemonade by the jug, but his summer I choose Campari lemonade.
Campari cocktails:
I love this recipe because you can make absolutely everything from scratch (homemade pucker-y lemonade recipe below), or you can buy it at the store. You can be your own mixologist and make it all yourself, or you can make like a frat guy and dump Campari into a jug of lemonade. Either way, you can’t go wrong. Although, I will admit that I slightly prefer the homemade lemonade route, and feel I’ve bypassed my ‘frat guy drinking days.’ The only reason I like to make my lemonade from scratch is because I like tangy, almost sour lemonade. The final drink tastes like a sweet and sour Campari punch. I’m obsessed. Are you a Negroni lover? Please, come in and stay a while. I love Negronis. I think that you have to be one who likes bitter flavors to love a Negroni. If you have a lingering bottle of Campari or Aperol in the bar with which to make Negronis, dust it off and make a Campari lemonade!
Gratuitous photo of Camille wearing sunglasses and eating watermelon by the pool. I’m the only one in the photo that has been drinking Campari cocktails, I promise. No babies were given a taste of Campari cocktails; babies drink water and eat watermelon by the pool. These tall glasses are perfect for Campari cocktails; they’re technically high-ball glasses. I’m using these exact glasses in the photos.
I hope you guys are having a great summer, and are staying cool!
