tried this recently
oooft. so bitter. had to force it down
― cozen, Thursday, 17 October 2013 18:17 (ten years ago) link
its an acquired taste iirc
― just sayin, Thursday, 17 October 2013 18:28 (ten years ago) link
how did you have it? just with soda?
― just sayin, Thursday, 17 October 2013 18:29 (ten years ago) link
soda, large wedge of orange
was seriously difficult to finish it. does a negroni take the edge off?
― cozen, Thursday, 17 October 2013 19:03 (ten years ago) link
yeah, it has sweet vermouth in it which balances the bitterness.
― just sayin, Thursday, 17 October 2013 19:10 (ten years ago) link
if you're not in the mood for the full hit of a negroni you can make a campari americano - a negroni but with soda water in place of gin.

i find campari often tastes a little too much like marmalade for me these days, though i still drink it on the regular (i'm drinking a campari-soda right now!)

can't imagine finding it bitter, unless you also find marmalade bitter.

Well, I mean, it's bitter - it's an amaro! - but it's... sweet-bitter. (one of my housemates once said he found it too sweet and syrupy, like cough medicine, which i didn't really understand)
I keep meaning to branch out into the other amari - amaro ramazotti, say, or that one that's made from artichokes or something.

i was going to post the video for Jennifer Hudson's "Spotlight" where she bails on her possessive boyfriend and goes to a club where they ONLY SERVE CAMPARI, but the edit on Vevo has significantly fewer shots of red glasses and campari bottles.
that shit is nasty.

Now that it's October swap the gin for bourbon. Boulvardier!

that one that's made from artichokes or something.
Cynar is my favorite of all of the amaros

I always buy some of these when I'm in Italy - although I much prefer my Campari with Tonic than with soda water

Spritz, yo. (1 part soda 2 campari 3 prosecco.)

I normally like bitter tastes but found this astringent
may give it one more go, with something to take the edge off
― cozen, Friday, 18 October 2013 09:36 (ten years ago) link
Campari and cheap white wine, mixed in equal amounts, with ice.
― mahb, Friday, 18 October 2013 10:00 (ten years ago) link
i love those campari soda bottles
― just sayin, Friday, 18 October 2013 10:07 (ten years ago) link

― cozen, Saturday, 23 November 2013 19:10 (ten years ago) link

campari + hoppy IPA = ridic good
― cozen, Sunday, 24 November 2013 20:43 (ten years ago) link
whaaaat?
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Monday, 25 November 2013 10:18 (ten years ago) link
I've often wondered if hops are among Campari's secret ingredients; that earthy, tannic, oily bitterness reminds me of US IPAs.
