When we were downtown looking at the NATO preparations we realized that we were in time for the Happy Hour at the newly opened Hotel Ardent. One of the NATO delegations has reserved the entire hotel for its stay in Dayton.
One of their Happy Hour specials are $6.00 Negronis. Rather than using Campari, these Negronis substitute Aperol. Campari makes the drink more dry and bitter where Aperol brightens the flavor. Thanks to Todd, we always end up talking to the people beside us and have had some delightful conversations. This time didn't disappoint. We discovered quite a few connections with this man - where we've lived, common friends, and New York City. He used to live there and that's where we're headed.

Bitter, sweet and bold,
Gin’s embrace, a perfect mix
of strength and complexity.
Cheers!! 🥂
