Aperitif, Campari 70cl 25%

In 1861, as Lincoln became president, Gaspare Campari crafted his famously bitter red aperitif. By 1867, he’d opened Caffè Campari in Milan, and his son Davide launched Camparino in 1915 — home to the now-iconic Campari & Soda. The Americano and later the Negroni helped Campari conquer cocktail culture. From art deco ads to Fellini films, Campari’s bold style became legendary — and by its 150th birthday in 2010, the brand had gone global in 190+ countries.

Campari is a bitter, bright red Italian aperitif made from an infusion of herbs and fruit. Campari is often served as an apéritif before meals, or as a digestif after dinner.

The most popular way to enjoy Campari is in a Negroni cocktail, which consists of Campari, gin, and sweet vermouth.
