Campari Aranciata Recipe

Looking for a bitter drink but cant be arsed to pull out three bottles for a negroni? Jason wilson, author of boozehound and frequent contributor to the washington posts spirits column, has just the solution with this super-simple highball. Its so simple, in fact, that you dont even have to remember the ingredients theyre right there in the name. Campari is the best choice for bitter-fiends, but its just dandy (albeit sweeter) with any other bitter citrus apritif like aperol. The aranciata in the name refers to sanpellegrino aranciata, an italian orange soda. Any orange soda will do; its lovely with orangina, for example. Technically, youre supposed to stir this one but we love the interplay of the light-orange soda and camparis neon ruby red, so we give it only the slightest jiggle of the spoon before serving to preserve the lava-lamp effect.
