Today’s recipe is for Mixology Monday, hosted this time around by a dash of bitters. For me, straight forward bitterness is an acquired taste and I’m confident that some of my compadres around the cocktail blogsphere will happily offer up more daring, bitter drinks. My offering has a strong bitter component provided by Campari that is tempered somewhat by orange liqueur. The cocktail gets a kick of dryness from dry vermouth and gin. It all adds up to a tart, bitter, lip-smacking aperitif. The drink has a beautiful color provided by the Campari and is sure to impress your friends before sitting down to a nice dinner. I hope you enjoy.
The Gloria cocktail is:
1 ounce of dry gin
1 ounce of dry vermouth
1/4 ounce of Cointreau or orange liqueur
1/4 ounce of Campari
Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice and stir. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and enjoy.
Recommended listening for the bitter Gloria cocktail…Alanis Morissette(kidding!), how about something smoother:
