About this Cocktail

Sunday-afternoon creation, post-brunch, reading the Times, sunlight filtering in through the avocado tree.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz Chamucos blanco
• 3/4 barrel-aged Campari
• 3/4 Cocchi Torino sweet vermouth
• 1/2 fresh lemon
• 5 drops Brown's homemade orange bitters

Preparation:

Shake and strain. Lemon peel garnish.

(I aged the Campari in the barrel-aging bottles made by Tuthilltown. If that's not handy, swap the blanco tequila for reposado.)
