Classic Campari

If you are not drinking Campari this summer, you should be. Campari is a bright red Italian liquor made from herbs and fruit. It is a perfect warm-weather liquor that can be mixed with anything from oranges to white wine. I like it with orange-flavoured sparkling water, a generous slice of fresh, juicy orange and topped with a sprig of mint. Delicious.

Trav'lin' Light








Anita O'Day. One of the foremost jazz singers of all time. She was the first woman to record for Verve, enough said. This woman's voice is incredible. I wish I had a pile of money so I could run out and scoop up every single one of her albums - on vinyl.

If you have never listened to her and are a fan of excellent jazz vocals - go out and get one of her albums immediately!! I am currently obsessed with 'Live in Tokyo 1963'. Heavenly.
