Campari Orange Spritzer ( Ina Garten Back to Basics ) image

This drink is for a lighter Italian drink to serve at lunch, brunch or anytime you don't want a full cocktail but want some delicious flavors. It comes from Ina Garten's Back To Basics cookbook 2008. This was also on one of her love episodes. It is a lighter version of the evening cocktail she makes with the same liquor Campari. Campari is unique taste and bitter so have some ginger ale in reserve if you have guests with sweet teeth. See my note below. A great brunch would be Recipe #412494 and this. Enjoy! ChefDLH
