Bitter and Twisted

Making Valentine's cocktails for everyone tonight--or for someone special? Either way, try this cocktail on your guests. It's a bitters drink, so even if you're drinking alone tonight it might be apropos for Valentine's Day. You'll serve this one on the rocks so be sure to have some ice cubes handy.

You'll need Campari, Fernet-Branca, dry gin, red vermouth and orange bitters for this cocktail. Have some orange peel as a garnish if you want to dress it up a bit. It's a very grown-up cocktail without the frills so it's not the best choice for the club but perfect for your night in.
