Camparitini

— One of the most popular drinks is their signature Basil Lime Gimlet. Other featured Italianate cocktails are the Camparitini, made with Campari, Ketel 1 Citroen and grapefruit juice, and the Cappuccino Martini, a foamy blend of espresso and vanilla vodka. Many bartenders are challenging themselves to use obscure or random spirits in cocktails; Chartreuse and Campari have made quite a comeback lately. Of course, if a drink is good, customers will ask for it at other places as well. Through word of mouth these drinks make the rounds and suddenly they become so popular that bartenders all over the city are making them.
