1.5 oz. Fever Tree Tonic

0.5 oz. Coffee Infused Cinzano Extra Dry

__________
Cold Brew Negroni
1 oz cold brew-infused Campari
1 oz gin
1 oz sweet vermouth
Strong ground coffee
First fill a mason jar or similar vessel halfway with coffee grounds and pour in the Campari. That can steep for as little as ten minutes, or as long as overnight, depending on how much coffee flavor you’re aiming for. Strain the coffee out with a standard coffee filter, add equal amounts of gin and sweet vermouth, stir with ice, and strain into an old fashioned glass with more ice and a slice of orange.
__________
Upside Down
1 can espresso (such as Starbucks Doubleshot)
1 mini Frangelico bottle
1 oz rum
.5 oz simple syrup
Toss about a third of that can of espresso (drink or pour out the rest), the rum, and the orgeat into a shaker with ice. Shake it around and carefully pour the mixture back into the can the espresso came in. Stick a straw into the can and then insert the mini Frangelico upside down into the mouth of the can, which should just fit if you give it a good shove.
