Cocktail Description
The Scarlet Snap delivers a brilliant burst of bitter-sweet citrus that wakes up your palate like a splash of cold water on a hot day.
This vibrant crimson cocktail combines the botanical complexity of London Dry gin with Campari's signature bittersweet punch, all brightened by fresh blood orange juice. Its flavor profile balances juniper and herbal notes against the deep citrus character of blood orange, creating a drink that's simultaneously refreshing and sophisticated. Perfect for early evening gatherings or as an appetite-stimulating aperitif before dinner, the Scarlet Snap works beautifully year-round but truly shines during blood orange season in winter months. The cocktail is surprisingly simple to prepare—just shake, strain, and serve—making it accessible even for beginner home bartenders. Pair this punchy cocktail with salty snacks like marcona almonds or olives, light seafood dishes such as crudo or shrimp cocktail, or even spicy charcuterie to complement its bitter-sweet profile.
