<\/a><\/div>\n
With my brother\u2019s family still here, I haven\u2019t had time to think about my 2012 resolutions.<\/span>
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
However, after enjoying El Negroni de La Hacienda<\/a><\/i> and Witchy Woman<\/a> and considering that resolutions must be achievable goals, number one on my list for this New Year is to enjoy aperitifs. Easy!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Appetite stimulants, aperitifs are drinks created to prepare your tummy for lunch or dinner. The French name <\/span>ap\u00e9ritif<\/i> is derived from the Latin verb aperire<\/i>, meaning \u201cto open.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
That\u2019s exactly what The Opening Act is: the perfect start for any meal. I found the recipe in a mini brochure that came to me with a bottle of French ginger liqueur Domaine de Canton<\/a> <\/i>(and by the way, this liquor is so good it deserves a review post by itself.)<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Ingredients<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
2 oz ginger liqueur (I used<\/span> Domaine de Canton<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00bd oz of bitters liqueur (Campari or Luxardo)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00bd oz of fresh lime juice<\/span><\/div>\n
Tonic<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Shake and strain over ice in a tall glass. Top with tonic. Garnish with a mint sprig.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
