Campari Aperitivo is a Aperitif from the Campari Aperitivo brand hailing from Italy.
What is Campari Aperitivo?
Campari Aperitivo, with its vibrant red hue and complex blend of herbs and fruits, has been a cornerstone of Italian cocktail culture since 1860. Interestingly, until 2006, Campari's distinctive color came from carmine dye, extracted from the crushed shells of cochineal insects – a fact that adds a layer of intrigue to this iconic bitter liqueur.
Why do we love Campari Aperitivo?
Campari Aperitivo stands out in the cocktail world with its distinctive bitter-sweet flavor profile and vibrant red color, derived from a secret blend of herbs and fruits. Unlike rum, which is made from sugarcane byproducts, Campari is a complex Italian bitter liqueur that serves as the cornerstone of classic cocktails like the Negroni and Americano, making it an essential component in any sophisticated bar.
How do you drink Campari Aperitivo?
Campari Aperitivo shines brightest when sipped as part of a refreshing spritz or mixed into a bittersweet cocktail, though adventurous palates may enjoy it neat or on the rocks. This vibrant red spirit is perfect for warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with light appetizers like olives, cheese, and cured meats, or acting as a zesty counterpoint to rich, savory dishes.

Nose: Bitter orange peel dominates, followed by herbal notes of gentian and rhubarb. Hints of cinnamon and clove add warmth. A subtle cherry sweetness lingers in the background.
Palate: Intensely bitter upfront, reminiscent of grapefruit pith. Herbaceous flavors of wormwood and gentian root emerge. Sweet notes of red berries and candied orange balance the bitterness. A touch of vanilla smooths the edges.
Finish: Long and bitter, with a warming spice. Quinine-like dryness coats the tongue. Lingering notes of orange zest and aromatic herbs. Slightly medicinal, leaving a refreshing and appetite-stimulating sensation.
Campari Aperitivo is crafted using a secret blend of herbs, aromatic plants, and fruit in alcohol and water.
