Campari Bitter Aperitif Liqueur

Description

Whiskey: Campari Bitter Aperitif

Campari should be served chilled and the bottle must be kept from direct sunlight and heat, ideally in a refrigerator. When serving with a mixer, the drink should contain 50/50 with the mixer (such as tonic, soda or grapefruit juice). When adding a garnish to a drink containing Campari, always use a slice of orange, as lemon or lime impairs the true flavour.

Size: 750ML

Proof: 50 (25% ABV)

Origin: Italy

Distillery: Campari Group

The renowned aperitif provides a fruity, bold taste that pairs well with gin and can be used in a number of simple cocktails, like the Cosmo or Negroni. Even the most delicate palate has been unable to ferret out the secret recipe for this 150 year old cordial, but everyone seems to agree that it makes a great pre-meal sipper. Originally developed in 1860.
