Welcome to the episode 19 of The Art of Drinking with Join Jules and Your Favorite Uncle

What are we drinking?

So maybe you didn’t like the Negroni, give Camapari another chance because it’s with your good friend, Bourbon. If you loved the Negroni, you’re in luck, more Campari fun ahead. Maybe neither floats your boat, you should STILL listen to this episode. Someone important in your life might be a Bourbon and Camapri lover and the history is pretty… pretty… pretty good!

Uncle Brad’s Recipe

What do I need?

• Bourbon – one that you like – Elijah Craig is fantastic choice if you need a recommendation

• Campari (trying Amaro for this)

• Sweet vermouth, in this case again (going with Dolin Rouge and Punta Mes)

• Mixing glass

• Hawthorn strainer (the spring)

• Bar spoon

• Double Rocks glass

• Ice (big ice cubes if you can)

How do I make it?

Place double rocks glass in the freezer

In mixing glass add:

1. Ice (large chunks if you have them – fridge ice is fine)

2. 2oz bourbon

3. .75oz campari

4. .75oz sweet vermouth

Give it a 20 – 30 second stir

Grab your double rocks, add big chunk of ice

Using Hawthorn strainer, strain cocktail into double rocks glass

Garnish with orange peel, give it a little squeeze to express the oils, rub the rim of the glass and place in drink  

LET THE DRINK MELLOW for a minute or two before drinking

Tip: Aperitif vs. Digestif

Aperitif is a pre-dinner drink (Aperitif derives from the Latin word “to open” which is literally the point to open your stomach before a meal.

Digestif you drink after a meal to aide digestion
