Campari

Campari is the iconic Italian bitter that has defined aperitivo culture since 1860. With its striking ruby-red color and unmistakably bold, bittersweet flavor, Campari forms the backbone of some of cocktail history's most celebrated drinks.

Gaspare Campari created this legendary spirit in Novara, Italy, and the secret recipe—featuring a proprietary blend of herbs, fruits, and spices—remains closely guarded to this day. What makes Campari unique is its assertive bitterness balanced by citrus and herbal complexity, finishing with a lingering warmth.

Campari is essential to three of the world's great cocktails. The Negroni (Campari, gin, sweet vermouth) showcases Campari at its most sophisticated. The Americano (Campari, sweet vermouth, soda) offers a lighter take. The Boulevardier (Campari, bourbon, sweet vermouth) proves its compatibility with whiskey.
