Campari and soda with orange

As of late, one of my favorite warm weather, pre-dinner drinks is
Campari
and soda with a big twist of orange zest. Pack rocks (old-fashioned) glass with ice, wedge your orange zest in, add 2-3
ounces of Campari, top the rest with sparkling water (I usually use San Pellegrino or LaCroix) and give a stir. Campari
itself is a great aperitif: bitter, complex and refreshing. To my taste, some fizz and citrus makes the effect that
much better.

Those who like the taste of Campari and soda but are seeking a non-alcoholic refreshment might like unsweetened cranberry juice (Ocean Spray is the brand easily available in my area) and tonic. 1 part cranberry to 3 or 4 parts tonic over ice seems to work well.
