How To Make The 'St. Ambrose Cup'

Summer is all about refreshing cocktails, but sometimes mixologists go overboard with overly sweet concoctions. The "St. Ambrose Cup" is a cocktail that stays light with ingredients like lemon and cucumber, but still packs a serious boozy punch with tequila and Campari. It is reminicsent of a margarita, but the extra ingredients add a bit of complexity, and make it the kind of drink that will have guests asking for seconds (or thirds and fourths...)
