Makes 2 cocktails
- 1/4 bulb of fennel, cut into two wedges
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce Campari
- 2 ounces fresh-squeezed orange juice
- 1 ounce lemon juice
- 1 ounce pitted green olives, puréed
- 2 tarragon sprigs
- 2 orange wedges
In a small sauté pan over medium heat, slowly sweat fennel wedges in oil until soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool. Muddle the tarragon and lemon in a shaker. Add vodka, orange juice, lemon juice, and green olive purée. Shake and strain over ice into highballs. Add a dash of Campari to finish. Garnish each with orange wedge and sautéed fennel slice.
