On the Rocks: Negroni Punch.

Negroni Punch seems like it might just be the perfect July 4th cocktail. Light and fruity for the hot weather most us will be experiencing and crisp enough for watching fireworks under the stars. Take advantage of all the fruit that’s currently in season and mix up a batch of your own!

Ingredients:
– 4 cups assorted fresh fruit (such as berries, pitted cherries, and pitted sliced apricots and peaches)
– 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar (optional)
– 1 cup Campari
– 1 cup sweet vermouth
– 1 cup gin
– 2 750-ml bottles chilled Prosecco
– Ice cubes

Place fruit in large punch bowl. Sprinkle with sugar to taste, if desired; stir and let stand 10 minutes for sugar to dissolve and juices to form. Add all remaining ingredients except ice cubes. Divide punch among 8 tall ice-filled glasses and serve.
