Origin

Campari was created in Milan in 1860 by Gaspare Campari, its exact recipe famously kept secret to this day. The spritz format follows the Italian aperitivo tradition, built on Campari's more assertively bitter profile.

Flavour Profile

Good for someone who finds Aperol too sweet. Not for someone easing into bitter drinks for the first time.

Glass & Garnish

Large wine glass, full of ice.

Notes
