I didn't show my face for 2 weeks to my mother after I was hit in one of my duels - but today the wounds are treated with much more care resulting in minor scarring. Also your link is horrible, wrong or at best filled with half-truth... try this instead:<br />en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmiss <br /><br />Oh, alsmost forgot: I like the Lucien Gaudin as a Negroni substitute if the weather is really hot.TumTumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-34965590437556057562009-08-19T19:01:31.001-07:002009-08-19T19:01:31.001-07:00Fredric, mon ami,

And I hope that if the topic is about a reprehensible liquor brewed from pine tree roots by the inmates of a Slovenian prison, you will give me a call, because I'll try anything once. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-16527390904151947382009-08-19T16:46:21.650-07:002009-08-19T16:46:21.650-07:00My friend, I bow to your expertise in these matter...My friend, I bow to your expertise in these matters.fredric koeppelhttp://www.biggerthanyourhead.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-30244207765510783382009-08-19T06:36:05.671-07:002009-08-19T06:36:05.671-07:00Fredric,

The sugar crystallizes around the screwcap (making an old bottle hard to open) and if you spill it, it quickly becomes a sticky mess. Without that sugar in there, it might be completely undrinkable. <br /><br />From a visit to the factory by a <i>Saveur</i> writer:<br /><br />"The recipe reportedly has not changed since that time: Campari is a blend of equal parts of alcohol, sugar syrup, distilled water, and an infusion flavored with oranges, rhubarb, and... ginseng, as well as a mixture of herbs."<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-80879910647568676092009-08-19T06:17:51.811-07:002009-08-19T06:17:51.811-07:00"the sugar in Campari"??
