2 oz Gin
1 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
Instructions

Shake first 3 ingredient, strain into ice-filled highball glass, top with tonic

Notes

Delicious, light-seeming summery drink. Careful -- there really is a good bit of Gin in there.

History

Named after my Campari-loving grandparents, Kate (Omi) and Dan (Opa), from whose wedding glasses I now drink.

  • Pretty drink. I'd like to try with aperol next time instead of campari.
  • *subbed aperol in place of campari, delicious twist on a G&T. — ★★★★
  • Recommend 4 oz Gin, 6 oz Tonic, 1 oz Campari and 2 oz lime juice — ★★★★
  • Bitter and sour and nice.

Comments

I've been drinking G&Ts like this for years. I prefer 2 oz Gin, 3.5-4oz Tonic, .5 oz Campari and .25 oz lime juice.

Great minds think alike.

If you have a little time, try freezing the Campari (or Aperol) with the lime in a Frosun. Makes for a rather special G&T variant.
