No more or less fattening than any other liquor! Pretty much everything in the unsweetened liquor/liqueur world has the same calorie content: About 90 calories per fluid ounce. So a given cocktail you’d order in a restaurant would run you 120 calories or so per “bar ounce”, assuming it’s mixed with zero-calorie drinks or club soda.

I have been reading your blog for a couple of months and this is the first drink that I feel strongly compelled to try. That may have something to do with my move to a country with more access to spirits. They like the stuff in Malta.

I am the number two fan of Campari in this household. I’m interested in seeing what the addition of a woodsy brown spirit would do.

Do you guys have any opinion on Maker’s Mark bourbon?

I prefer to think of us as publicans without the real estate…..

Also – I could have gulped this by the bucketful. Campari didn’t grow on me right away, but when it did? Woooooomama.

I detest gin, with it’s juniper-y craptacularity. But I do love me some flower petals, so I’ll give it a shot (har!).

You two are brilliant little baristas, you know.
