Ingredients

• 1 bag cold brew coffee grounds (I recommend Partner’s Coffee)
• 1 liter Campari
• 1 ounce cold brew Campari
• 1 ounce gin (try Broker's or another quality brand)
• 1 ounce sweet vermouth
• 2 dashes black walnut bitters

Cooking Method

To start your Cold Brew Campari, combine a bag of cold brew coffee grounds with a liter of Campari in a large mixing bowl. Allow the mixture to steep for 2 hours, letting those rich coffee flavors infuse into the Campari. Once ready, strain it through a chinois, ensuring you extract every drop from the grounds, and funnel the infused liquid back into the Campari bottle.

Next, it's time to create your Negroni masterpiece! In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the cold brew Campari, gin, sweet vermouth, and two dashes of black walnut bitters. Stir gently until frosty and chilled. Finally, strain this tantalizing concoction over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. Cheers to a refreshing experience!

Smooth and bittersweet, it marries the best of coffee and cocktails—ideal for sipping under the sun! Whether you're at a backyard BBQ or lounging on the patio, this drink promises to elevate your summer relaxation.
