Campari is an Italian bitter drink. At 25% proof it's somewhere in between a fortified wine and a spirit.
It's an incredibly aromatic mix, with a smell of earthy herbal essences.
To the taste, drunk neat, it has a slight sweetness on the tip of your tongue, but as you swallow it's an astringent, dry, woody taste, now that may not sound good, but it's incredibly nice, and the bitterness, makes it so refreshing.
Don't expect it to be sweet, like a vermouth. It's a very adult tasting drink.
It's a lovely long afternoon drink, mixed with either tonic, or as I prefer, with orange juice.
Where it really comes into its own is in a Negroni.
A Negroni is a cocktail, made from equal parts Gin, red vermouth, and Campari. The Campari is the one that gives the 'Negroni' its distinctive flavour.
Mix together and pour over ice. It's an incredibly complex taste, with the sweetness of the vermouth, and the bitterness of the Campari combining to give one of the most refreshing, aromatic cocktails there is.
There is no better summer drink. Go on treat yourself and try it.
I hope you found this review helpful.
