The Charlie Chaplin Cocktail 1 part apricot brandy 1 part sloe gin 1 part lemon juice A little weak to my taste but highly delicous. (served on the rocks)

Got ahold of golden kiwis so a cocktail was required. Not very original but focused on the main ingredient. Golden Breeze * 1 Golden kiwi fruit, peeled * 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice * 1/2 ounce simple syrup (I used ginger-infused 1:2 syrup) * 3/4 ounce Cointreau * 2 ounces shochu (I used a sweet potato shochu but it could be improved with a more neutral barley or any spirit you feel would match for a twist) Photo here.

There's this one cocktail insanely popular in Japan (as are Campari highballs in general) but largely unknown anywhere else: the Spumoni. * Campari * 1/2 grapefruit juice * 1/2 tonic water Built on ice. Refreshing. Even more so than just Campari and grapefruit. I'm told the name comes from a three-layer Italian frozen dessert, which sounds appropriate for this drink.
