How it is made

Campari is made from a blend of herbs, aromatic plants, and fruit, with the exact recipe being a closely guarded secret. The infusion process extracts the flavors from these ingredients, resulting in a liqueur that is both bitter and sweet. The vibrant red color is often attributed to the use of natural coloring agents, although some variations may use artificial coloring.

History

Campari was invented in 1860 by Gaspare Campari in Novara, Italy. Initially served as an aperitif, it quickly gained popularity and became a key ingredient in various cocktails. Its unique flavor and vibrant color have made it a favorite among bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts worldwide.

Bartenders often use Campari in classic cocktails such as the Negroni and the Americano. It can also be enjoyed on its own, over ice, or with soda water as a refreshing aperitif. When using Campari in cocktails, it is important to balance its bitterness with other ingredients to create a harmonious flavor profile.
