For humid days you can't go wrong with a Tinto de verano. I'll have to try Campari some time.

oh hell! a man of culture. jerez, yeah, good stuff, i should become more acquainted with it. i like a glass of port with a chunk of stilton in the winter, but in the hot season what do you drink-- fino frío? i should ask the winedealer. tinto de verano i never heard off-- thanks--oh like sangría the internet says. mmmm/// good

anyway, proper amaros, i like cynar (made with artichoke) and my go-to i always have a bottle in case of indigestion hahahha is fernet branca (the funky branca, !!!)

i guess campari is not an amaro after all but it's bitter and amazing. used to taste better when it was made with proper beetlejuice (cochineal) if i recall my childhood correctly. the vegans then demanded a different coloring (boo). anyway mixed with red vermouth for the milano-torino, americano (+water), and negroni (+gin). also a serial killer in a german tv show drank campari and orange hahahs. there is also a spritz with prosecco and suprisingly adds well to a bland lager beer. yeah for real campari and birra or whatever

another one that will make a good spritz or bland beer additive is aperol which looks a radioactive orange and is sweeter than campari. i like it less but it's good anyway kinda citrusy

im giving rotgut a wide berth since a case of acute pancreatitis gave me an unpleasant 3 days plus recovery time eating disgusting american cereal. it was due to mild food poisoning from pork, not alcohol, but one has to take care of the equipment as it is multipurpose anyway
