As previously mentioned, I entered a Campari cocktail competition recently with a twist on the Ramos Gin Fizz. Unfortunately I didn’t win, but I thought I’d at least share the winning recipe with you – after all, it seems to be a rather tasty spin on one of my all time favourites, the Mai Tai. Here we go!
