Campari

Campari is an Italian bitter liqueur with a distinctive deep red colour, produced by macerating herbs, roots, and fruit in alcohol. The exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, but it is known for its pronounced bitterness with citrus and spice notes. It originates from Milan, where it was created by Gaspare Campari in 1860. In bartending and cooking, it serves as the base for classic cocktails such as the Negroni, Americano, and Spritz. It can also be used in sauces, meat marinades, and fruit-based desserts. It is most commonly served over ice with soda water.
