Americano highball

Weirdly enough, Campari was one of the scary ingredients that I could use.
The reason I bought it was because of the Campari Orange, which sounds like a sweet concoction.
However, Campari, has a strong bitter taste, almost to be thought as the bitters.

While Campari orange didn't turn out to be as I expected, this one worked out pretty well.

Did my life become too bitter to accept the bitterness of Campari, or is it just the magical chemistry of Seltzer water and Vermouth?

2 oz Sweet Vermouth
1 oz Campari
Seltzer Water to fill up the cup (Club soda might do the work)

Comforting Tiger

I guess the name shouts out pretty well.

Strong enough to comfort the tiger, but has the flavor in it. Quite a fruity fragrance follows, too.
Not a drink for the people who thinks the cocktail is some juice containing alcohol.
Alcohol is boasting its existence very gravely. Well, how it can't. All the ingredients except
the ice has at least twice the alcohol content than the beer.

So, the recipe,

2 oz Brandy
1/2 oz Southern Comfort
1 tsp Sweet vermouth
Ice (preferably crushed)
-> Stir

Cuff and Buttons

Cute name, huh.

4 dashes Sweet Vermouth
2 oz Southern Comfort
Juice of 1/2 Lime

First impression of the harmony of apricot(? from southern comfort) and grape wasn't pleasant for me, but eventually they worked out quite well as they mingled in.
Probably I should have shaked it as I was told to, but I still don't have my shaker with me ;_;

Probably would make it again if I have leftover lime juice on hand, but definitely won't take pains of juicing it from fresh lime to make it.
