Campari, Grapefruit & Pomegranate Cocktail

From EatingWell: May/June 2008

Balance herbaceous Campari with the sweet-tart flavors of pomegranate and grapefruit. This dusty pink drink looks festive in a stemmed wineglass with a twist of orange zest. For a slightly sweeter drink, use orange juice instead of grapefruit. To make a nonalcoholic version, omit the Campari and add an extra 1/3 cup of each juice.

READER'S COMMENT:

"i had never tried campari before, but i love this drink! it's perfect for brunch. i've also taken to ordering campari, soda and grapefruit juice as a cocktail when i'm out and about! "
