campari, delicious, easy, fun, gin, quick, vermouth

At the end of the day, once the kids are settled into their beds and the kitchen has been cleaned and the last load of laundry folded, my Husband and I often light a fire in the family room and settle in to watch a quick comedy show (Curb Your Enthusiasm is our current favorite). I usually mix a Negroni to sip between bouts of loud and exuberant laughter, while my Husband pours a whiskey and adds a splash of water. However, if I’m feeling daring, bold and adventurous I include a fun and flavorful element to my cocktail, such as a splash of cranberry juice.

CRANBERRY NEGRONI

I regularly scanned the supermarket produce sections for blood oranges, as I had acquired several cocktail recipes I wanted to try. I was super excited when I finally found this gorgeous citrus fruit in the store – three local locations to be exact – and have put them to good use. Mixing cocktails for friends and neighbors, at large dinner parties, small intimate gatherings, casual and more formal, or simply for my husband and myself after a long day.

We served these gin based cocktails, along with appetizers, at the start of a dinner we had donated at a charity event.

Once our guests had their fill of pickled shrimp and cheese with house made savory shortbread, we ushered them downstairs to the wine cellar, where we served the rest of their meal.

LAVENDER NEGRONI

I am loving this cocktail – a recently discovered new favorite!! The slight bitterness of the Cynar and Campari are perfectly offset by the sweetness of the St. Germain. It is an absolutely wonderful combination.

SHRIMP AND CUCUMBER BITES

campari, cucumber, Dijon, shallot, sherry vinegar, shrimp, tomatoes, vinaigrette

Our neighbor had a wonderful gathering in her newly built home the night before a Razorback football game. After spending the day at a conference in Rogers, and being caught up in the heavy traffic heading back to Fayetteville that afternoon – I had very little time to make the appetizer I had promised. Thankfully these Shrimp and Cucumber Bites came together quickly and elegantly, with a minimum of fuss.

A pair of high heels, a hostess gift and a bottle of wine, and my husband and I were ready to walk across the street to the festivities – a much less congested road than I had traversed earlier.

SHRIMP AND CUCUMBER BITES

shrimp and cucumber bites

2 dozen shrimp, peeled, deveined and cooked

24 slices cucumber

1/2 cup Mustard Vinaigrette (recipe to follow)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

12 Campari tomatoes, halved

garnish with fresh parsley

MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

1/2 cup sherry vinegar

2 tablespoon shallot, finely chopped

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon minced garlic

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 1/2 cups olive oil

TO PREPARE THE BITES

In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, cucumber, mustard vinaigrette, salt and pepper, tossing gently to coat. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours (it was more like 15 minutes when I made them). Drain, discarding marinade. Layer 1 cucumber slice and 1 shrimp on cut side of each tomato half (I sliced a thin piece off the bottom of some of the tomatoes so they stood steady on the plate). Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Enjoy!
