Campari is one of the world’s most recognizable aperitifs, instantly known for its vibrant red color and unmistakable bittersweet taste. Created in 1860 in Italy, Campari is infused with a secret blend of herbs, spices, and fruit, resulting in a complex flavor that balances bitterness with subtle sweetness.
What Makes Campari Unique?
Campari’s signature bitterness sets it apart. With an alcohol content around 20–25% ABV (depending on the market), it’s designed to stimulate the appetite, making it a perfect pre-dinner drink. Its intense herbal and citrus notes give cocktails structure, depth, and a striking visual appeal.

Campari is a key ingredient in legendary cocktails such as the Negroni, Americano, and Boulevardier. It also shines in lighter serves like the Campari Spritz, mixed with prosecco and soda.
