Did you know there used to be a white Campari, same colour as water/gin but much more alcoholic? It was sweeter, not as bitter as the red version. They stopped making it about ten years ago. We've still got a couple of bottles in the cellar.

The bitterness is kinda the point, for me at least.

I'm all sweetness and light, although we've got about 10 bottles of the red stuff in the cellar.

Just to be sociable and to prove "I still have it" I had two bottles of Desperado with my kids and friends last night.....🤮

Grown-up drinks.

Or grown-up's drink.

As a complete Philistine, in the hot weather Campari spritz is always good.

Here's hoping the positivity sticks - it's crucial..

Not just for Brazil and Brazilians .

But for the whole of Amazonia and the rest of the world too.

My dad used to love the stuff - I didn't get it at the time -
But now I do 😋
oops slight wistfulness over the idea of sharing one with him..

Let's stick with the upbeat..

Angostura bitters and a good tonic 👌🏼
