Great nap, thank you!

I’m really surprised but I prefer the all-grey to the Bond strap. What does the peanut gallery think?

Yeah, super easy, actually. Equal parts (I use an ounce) of each: Aperol, Cocchi, and Hardshore Gin (any gin that isn’t garbage will do). Stir in a mixing glass with ice, strain into a cold glass. I prefer rocks but don’t have any good, big cubes right now so I went up instead of compromising.

A variation on a Negroni, with Aperol, Cocchi, and gin from Portland, Maine.
