How to enjoy Campari?
Campari is more than a premium drink made by infusing bitter herbs, aromatic plants and fruits. It is a drink that creates an experience. Its bright red color, intense aroma and inspiring taste have always been a symbol of intrigue and pleasure of taste.
Campari is as multifaceted and elegant as Milan, where it was created. A leading city, at the same time modern and historical, classic and avant-garde, entrepreneurial and creative.
That is why he has been a source of passionate inspiration since 1860, when its founder, a creative genius, came up with a unique and secret recipe that never changed. This makes Campari an extremely versatile drink that offers endless and unexpected opportunities for creativity and experimentation in mixology.
It is an indispensable ingredient for many famous and favorite classic cocktails, such as Negroni and Americano - both included in the official list of IBA drinks. In addition, it tastes good in "easy mixed" cocktails such as Campari Spritz and Campari Tonic, known for their intriguing and unique taste.
Cocktail recipes with Campari
Enjoy Campari at home by simply adding it to a glass of ice or mixing in cocktails.
Negroni
A real classic that has stood the test of time since 1919.
The Negroni cocktail was invented in Florence in 1919 by Fosco Scarcelli at the Café Casoni bar, after the eminent Count Camilo Negroni asked to make his favorite Americano cocktail stronger by replacing sparkling water with a small amount of gin. Scarselli added a slice of orange as a decoration, instead of the usual slice of lemon. From that moment on, Negroni was born.
The original recipe is a perfectly balanced combination of equal parts Campari, red vermouth and dried gin. The recipe is more than a hundred years old, however, it does not lose its relevance today. The International Bartenders Association (IBA) has approved Campari as the official ingredient in Negroni, so Campari is in the heart of every Negroni.
