Campari + Soda

As the days get longer and warmer I find myself beginning to crave light summer-y cocktails, as opposed to my usual “winter drinks”.

My favorite at the moment is a Campari & Soda.

This drink reminds me of when I was 13 years old on a trip to Italy with my mum and her best friend. Each afternoon they would sit down and have a Campari in a little cafe or bar. I always loved hearing the word “Campari” because it meant that it was time for me to either get an Orange Fanta or a gelato. I think in psychology they would call this a “conditioned response”:

Campari = Gelato

Now however I’ll just take the drink… Ok, who am I kidding? And the gelato!
