A play on the Americano cocktail, this bittersweet drink recipe was developed to serve at the fourth annual Joie de Mutt fund-raiser for San Francisco’s senior dog rescue, Muttville. This light and refreshing mix of vodka, Campari, fresh orange juice, and club soda makes a simple and sophisticated apéritif.
Game plan: If you’re making a batch of this cocktail ahead of time, mix the vodka, Campari, and OJ together and refrigerate, then add the soda and garnish just before serving.
