Agree, I can't get past the similarity of Campari to cough syrup.

The sweet vermouth is what you get first, then like an undertoe, the campari sweeps it all back and leaves you with a different sensation on the pallate. <font color="white">And apparently to El D that sensation is vile.</font> |

Re: The aperitif thread
Rose champagne makes for an excellent start to a meal. Its added level of dryness makes it particularly appropriate. It also can work well with a variety of first courses.
Additionally, it is a great option for dates and such. Possibly you are introducing your companion to a new experience, which should score some points. And of course, the bottle, bubbles and color set a romantic tone. |
