because all great culinary adventures start with good cocktails......

the Stepford Wife Cocktail - (a modified Negroni)

1 shot of gin (I use Tanqueray)
juice of 1/2 grapefruit (freshly squeezed)
1 capful of Campari bitters
1 capful of Blood Orange Bitters (made by Stirrings)

a note on the blood orange bitters - as bitters, this concoction is suspect as it is awfully sweet and more liquer-like than bitters, but does add a nice spice and top note to the ultimate fembot cocktail.

Shake in cocktail shaker and serve in chilled cocktail glass, garnish with lemon zest swirl
