The drink name looks like Campiri Polynesian ( kind of hard to read) but it says equal parts Campiri, Italian Vermouth, and Papaya Juice shake with ice and strained into cocktail glass. Here is the link the article is between the 2 black dots below the picture of the guy . http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1350&dat=19680823&id=SPFOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=nQEEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7290,4647766 [ Edited by: Tiki Mdn 2014-04-12 10:08 ]

Campari with sweet vermouth= an Americano, a classic cocktail. Add gin to an Americano for a Negroni.
