Ingredients

• Campari – May substitute Aperol for a less bitter option
• Pineapple Juice – We use a fresh, not from concentrate variety.
• Vermouth – Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth is our preference.
• Angostura bitters – 1 or 2 shakes are all it takes.

How to make a Campari Drink

1. Fill a rocks glass with ice to chill while you mix the drink. You will discard this ice and refresh it with new ice before serving.
2. Combine all of the drink ingredients and ice in a drink shaker. Shake aggressively until chilled.
3. Add fresh ice to the glasses and pour the chilled drink into the glass, straining out and discarding the shaker ice. Shaking the drink blends the ingredients together and creates a smooth foam on the top of the drink.
4. Serve.

Variations

Campari does have a bitter flavor. Aperol, another Italian apéritif, is a good substitution. Aperol is sweeter, less bitter, and has hints of burnt orange and herbs.

Both of these liqueurs are included in cocktails with orange, lemon, and lime juices, and garnishes.

Campari cocktails are also often combined with common alcohol such as gin, vodka, whiskey or bourbon, prosecco, or sparkling wine.
