What is Campari?

Campari is an alcoholic liqueur considered an apéritif obtained from the infusion of herbs and fruit in alcohol and water. It is bitter and characterized by its red color.

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 is all it takes.

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, lime juices and garnishes.

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

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.
4. Serve.

Items you may need

• Rocks Glass – Call us snobs, but drinks just taste better when you’re sipping from a nice glass.

We think that our Pineapple Campari Cocktail is perfect. Here’s why!

Pineapple juice is the perfect sweet balance to bitter Campari and adds a tropical flair.

The soft foam top provides a soft texture making it the perfect sipper.
