Campari

Campari is an Italian bitter liqueur and aperitif known for its dark red color, invented in 1860 by Gaspare Campari in Novara, Italy. It is made from an infusion of herbs and fruit, including chinotto and cascarilla, in alcohol and water, and typically contains between about 20.5 and 28.5 percent alcohol by volume depending on the market. The company opened its first dedicated production plant in 1904 near Milan and is now sold in more than 190 countries under the Campari Group. Campari is commonly served with soda water or citrus juice, mixed with prosecco as a spritz, or used as the defining bitter ingredient in cocktails such as the Negroni and the Americano.
