Campari

Campari is a bitter Italian aperitif known for its vivid red color, intense bittersweet flavor, and notes of orange peel, herbs, spice, and gentian-like bitterness. In cocktails, it adds structure and a bracing bitter edge that can make sweet vermouth, citrus, gin, whiskey, or sparkling wine feel more complex.

Campari is best known for drinks like the Negroni, Americano, and Boulevardier, but it also appears in spritzes, tropical riffs, and modern bitter cocktails.
