Recipe

• 2 parts Campari

• 1 part triple sec

• ½ part tequila

• 1 part orange juice

• 2 parts tonic water

Shake all the ingredients together with ice, except the tonic. Strain into a wine glass, full with fresh ice and add the tonic and a thick slice of orange. You can get the orange juice from the rest of the orange if you want.

Superb, and a definite improvement on my first attempt. Firstly, an error in translation led to me using orange squash instead of triple sec, and that definitely wasn’t as good. Second, I halved the amount of tequila in this version, as the original designer did herself, and this made it a lot less overpowering. Much better all round!

This wonderful balance of sweet and bitter is super-refreshing, and I think I’ll be having it a lot more as the storms give way to the summer sun.
