Il Sorpasio... The Cam'Ron

     It's been a while since I have written a message, which is what makes it ironic that I'm choosing to write today... on Labor Day!  While most of the country is kicking their feet up, watching summer re-runs, I am in the office slaving away trying to come up with something fun for everyone to read.
     In the spirit of the day, I didn't want to do something that caused too much work.  So instead of making a dinner, I decided to make a drink.  I found a drink that I have never had before, the Il Sorpasio.  1 oz. Aperol, 1 oz. Makers Mark, 3/4 tsp. honey, 1 tsp. lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. sugar and top it off with 2 oz. club soda.  Now I knew before I finished making the drink that this wasn't going to be my favorite concoction... I love bourbon, but don't really like mixing it with too many things.  I made the drink, I drank the drink, and then I came up with a recipe that I liked... The Cam'Ron: 2 oz. Makers Mark, 1 oz. Aperol, 1 tsp. honey, pinch of sugar, dash of lemon juice and top it with club soda.  Was it better... yes!  Did it make me feel better... yes!  I'M BACK... see you next time.  NEXT ROUND'S ON ME!
