6 x Campari Tonic Glasses

Product Information

But a Campari spritz, deep red in colour (as opposed to Aperol’s sunshine orange) makes a wonderful change as a go-to summer drink.

For something lighter and more refreshing, Campari can also be used in an Americano where it is combined with sweet red vermouth, topped with soda water and garnished with an orange slice and an olive. Stir: Fill a mixing glass (like a pint glass) ¾ of the way up with ice. Add ¾-ounce each of gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Stir until very cold, then strain it into your serving glass. And the result? Overall, negronis are known for being a well-balanced, refreshing, bittersweet drink with notes of spice and fruit. In the decades following its original launch, Campari became an increasingly popular drink throughout Italy and around the world. Its allure spread like wildfire also thanks to its unique taste, its elegant bottle, and its innovative advertising campaigns. At that time, there was an American writer named Erskine Gwynne living in Paris, and he founded a magazine called the Boulevardier.Americano: Those that found the MiTo too bitter started requesting soda to be included. This led to the creation of the Americano, a milder and less bitter beverage that gained popularity as James Bond’s first drink in Ian Fleming’s novel, Casino Royale. The Campari Spritz can be enjoyed at any drinking occasion,” explains Loris, “but is best served during aperitivo hour (between 7pm - 9pm in Italy) alongside light bites, just as the Italians do in Milan." Are there any Campari substitutes?This liqueur is so unique, it’s hard to replace. It’s readily available at your local liquor store. In a pinch, you can substitute any red amaro or Aperol, but Aperol is much sweeter. Why we like it

The bitter Campari in the Jungle Bird is perfectly offset by sweet pineapple juice, and the result is a remarkably refreshing and balanced drink. This year, the iconic Milanese red drink paid homage to the city’s sleek fashion and contemporary tradition with a new retro bottle inspired by it. The bottle’s modern lines symbolize the journey of the Campari aperitivo ritual from Milan to the world, reflecting vitality and transformation. For over 160 years, Campari has been an international symbol of good taste, conviviality and, above all, passion. From its vibrant red colour to its bittersweet taste, it has seduced palates and created iconic moments and unique memories for many around the world. In true aperitif fashion, Negronis bring on an appetite. They’re best served with appetizers or small bites before the main course.For years I deluded myself that Campari was my drink. Certainly at university enough of my friends turned their noses up at it to persuade me that if I bought a bottle I would be able to drink all of it myself.

For G&T fans, equal parts Campari and gin, topped with tonic water is sometimes known as a Milanese G&T. According to Loris, this G&T works because: “the bittersweet Campari balances the sharpness of the tonic and complements the gin’s own botanicals.” Campari’s success is tied to its secret infusion of herbs, spices, and fruit peels mixed with carefully-calibrated blends of alcohol and water.Lombardy-based beverage producer Gaspare Campari developed the bitter liqueur using an undisclosed recipe that involved as many as 60 diverse herbs, spices, barks, and fruit peels. Among the ingredients were chinotto, a bitter citrus fruit, and cascarilla, the bitter and fragrant bark of a shrub found in the West Indies. Although the herbal flavors of the gin and the spiciness from the sweet vermouth are present, it’s really the Campari that boldly takes charge. What to Serve with Negronis

THE CAMPARI SPRITZ RECIPE

Campari and Soda: If you’re seeking a simple and refreshing option, a Campari and Soda is the perfect choice. Fill a tall glass with ice, pour in 2 ounces of Campari, and top it up with soda water. Stir gently, and garnish with a lemon wedge or a sprig of fresh mint. This classic combination allows the vibrant and bitter flavours of Campari to shine through while offering a lighter, thirst-quenching experience. Now it seems that if you show practically anyone a bottle of this beautiful carmine-coloured liquid, they will immediately open a discussion on the best way to dilute it - grapefruit juice is delicious but should the grapefruit juice be white or pink? Ditto orange juice.

Campari’s bittersweet flavor profile arrives via the infusion of alcohol and water with bitter herbs, aromatic plants, and fruit. According to Eligio Bossetti, a historian at Villa Campari, only three individuals know the exact recipe, which is rumored to contain up to 80 ingredients. The formula is so secret, in fact, that the identity of the three recipe holders is also a closely guarded secret. The color is (usually) artificial. For the classic Negroni, you need good gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Mix the ingredients into a glass with ice cubes and stir until they’re super cold. Campari is bright red in color. In fact, its red color originally came from a dye made of crushed insects! The modern recipe now uses artificial red coloring. This liquor is sold by the company Gruppo Campari, which also bought Aperol in the 1990s. But these Italian liqueurs are more different than they are alike: read more at Campari vs Aperol. What does Campari taste like? It’s rare to find a rum drink that pairs fruity flavor with an Italian bitter, but it totally works in the Jungle Bird.One of the intriguing historical aspects of Campari’s recipe is the connection it may have had with Coca-Cola, according to some drinks experts. While the specific ingredients remain undisclosed, beyond their shared reputation as iconic beverages with secret recipes, it has been speculated that the original recipe for Coca-Cola, created by pharmacist John Pemberton in the late 19th century, included Campari as one of its secret ingredients.
