Campari is an Italian bitter of ruby-red colour, made by infusing herbs, plants and fruit in alcohol and water to a closely guarded recipe. It was developed by Gaspare Campari in the second half of the nineteenth century, between Novara and Milan. The taste is assertive and bitter, backed by a light sweetness and hints of orange zest, mint and herbs. It is the foundation of classics such as the Negroni, the Americano and the Boulevardier, and is also enjoyed with soda or orange juice.

Strength: usually 25% ABV (legal minimum 15%).
