A Vintage Americano – The Perfect Picnic Drink
Katherine Stolz Barber
Twentieth century foodie, gourmand and all around good cook, James Beard declared that “picnicking is one of the supreme pleasures of outdoor life." Indeed. No other dining experience seems quite so decadent. The fresh air, the natural setting, the creative food choices, the deliciously idle intentions. Picnics have a wonderful way of engaging all of our senses in such a fantastic way. It’s almost overwhelming.
Here are the recipes I would like to share with you for a Great American Picnic.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz. Campari
- 1 1/2 oz. Sweet Vermouth
- 3 oz. Club Soda
- Ice Cubes
- Twist or Slice of lemon or orange for garnish
Instructions
- Add the campari and vermouth to an old-fashioned glass.
- Add ice cubes and club soda. Stir to combine.
- Garnish with a slice or twist of lemon or orange.
