Origin

An original Sipped Right build, drawing on Campari's long-established pairing with grapefruit and soda in Italian aperitivo culture — not a historic named cocktail itself.

Flavour Profile

Good as a bitter, low-effort highball for anyone who already likes Campari. Not for someone new to bitter aperitivo drinks.

Glass & Garnish

Highball, full of ice.

Notes

Fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice is noticeably less bitter than bottled. Batches well for a crowd. Pairs well with salty snacks.
