As the sun dips lazily down toward the horizon, I want a drink that’s bitter and lively—not too sweet or too alcoholic. Sure, the Aperol spritz is popular for a reason, but I usually crave something drier, like this aperitivo from Paul McGee and Shelby Allison, of Lost Lake in Chicago. The simple combination of sharp Campari and salty fino sherry makes for a spritz that quenches your thirst and works wonderfully with potato chips, olives, or aged cheeses. You can fit this one in a two-quart pitcher, but a slightly larger vessel will help you avoid pour-and fizz-related messes.
