Holy Hump Day Happy Hour! Batman-related drinks!

Yes, there seems to be a whole bunch of drinks based around our favorite Gotham City crimefighter (and his friends and enemies).

The Batman Cocktail sounds like a variation on a Shirley Temple or Buck Rogers, something for the kids, and it includes grenadine and orange juice. The Penguin includes gin, cherry liqueur, and benedictine, while The Alfredo has Campari and gin. There are also drinks based on Robin, The Riddler, the Batcave, even Commissioner Gordon.

What, no drink for Catwoman? That sounds like a natural.

Friday Happy Hour: The Negroni

Negroni The Negroni is one of my favorite drinks (Ted Allen and I even talked about it when I interviewed him here last year). It was out of favor (well, at least by the trendsetters) for a number of years, but it's suddenly making a comeback. Don't let the fact that more people are drinking it now steer you away from it. It's one of the great, classic drinks.

Here's one recipe (though I usually go without the orange slice):

1 1/2 oz. gin
1 1/2 oz. Campari
1 1/2 oz. sweet vermouth
1 orange slice

Shake first three ingredients with ice, strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with orange slice.

Here are some other Negroni recipes, and here are some other Campari drinks from the official Campari site.

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.
