Campari
Campari is a contemporary and charismatic Italian apéritif. Its vibrant red color and uniquely bitter taste form the heart of time-honored cocktails like the Negroni, Italian Gentleman, Garibaldi, Italian Job, and Italian Sunrise. In short, it is a worldwide icon of Milanese style and excellence.

It’s one of the most compelling liqueurs used in modern drinks, and a staple in just about every drinks cabinet around the globe.
