Girl after my own heart, as they used to say. I used to do Campari and OJ and ice (so non italian), in great tall but narrow glasses..

I still remember asking for a Campari in a small but cozy hotel in Lucca, where the desk clerk and I were watching a tennis match, after I'd arrived back there after circling the city on the wall and traversing it besides... maybe it was the second or third day, when I was exploring.

Given a few more minutes I might remember who was playing. Kuerten? a talented spanish guy? Anyway, the tennis helped us cut across language - he with workable english and me with criminal italian - and he asked me if I'd like an aperitivo. All friendly talk, with him telling me all the negs about tourists who only want spaghetti and cling in clumps (I told him I was the only visitor to such and such museum, and after his comment, told him how I maneuvered around the clumps).. but the camaraderie took a down turn when I asked for a second ice cube. (Yes, yes, I know about lukewarm being best for flavor..)

1 jigger Bailey's, 1 jigger Kahlua, 1 jigger of grand marnier - yummy - but that's not really a cocktail is it? It's a shot. I think.

I'd call it dessert, mismi! All three are sweet liqueurs, grand marnier even more so. I wonder how it would taste if you add egg nogg

osso, the more Campari you drink the better your Italian gets.

Hot black coffee
Tablespoon dark molasses
Shot of dark rum

Haha! Why bother with all the fuss of mixing? I'm only partly joking.

George - that sounds great!

Probably pretty good...I learned to make it on a cruise - it's called a B-52. It's a layered drink...and it is amazingly yummy - AND it gives me the warm fuzzies...

red wine. like beer, open and drink.

Glass of ice.
Add a shot of water.
Fill with Chevis Regal or Johnnie Walker scotch.

In a large glass, filled with ice, pour about two shots of vodka, one teaspoon of cherry syrup, and fill remainder with citrus soda (Squirt, Fresca, 50/50).

I call it the "Commie Pinko."
