I tend to love any bitter liquor, especially when mixed with a sweet liquor, like Cointreau (more Campari than Cointreau, please). Other bitter liquors I should know about?

NO BARTENDER I've ever asked knows what a sidecar is. "What's in that?" Oh crap, now I have to tell them I don't know what's in one but I saw the recipe in a cocktail book once and it looked good & yummy but fuck if I remember anything, and oh I liked the name...too... "Oh, no worries bartender, I'll just have a ginger ale w/whiskey."
No sloe gin fizzes either. And last time John ordered Chivas on the rocks, he got Sauza tequila. Stupid crappy bars.

Every bar in SF knows what a sidecar is.
― libcrypt, Friday, 13 July 2007 04:13 (sixteen years ago) link
Every Abbott is within 100 miles of bars that are only crappy and know how to mix four kinds of well boozes with coke, tonic, or (if you're in an especially nice one) ginger ale. And they'll usually open your budweiswer for you and sometimes give you fresh glasses, too, if you ask a couple times.
Which is why I drink at home.

You should move to SF. I'll sponsor you.

Is Campari served in skanky old public houses or only in classy establishments?
― Hard like armour, Friday, 13 July 2007 05:07 (sixteen years ago) link
In the US, both but only on the coasts.
― libcrypt, Friday, 13 July 2007 05:35 (sixteen years ago) link
In Aust? I am looking for a new drink to try tonight.
― Hard like armour, Friday, 13 July 2007 05:35 (sixteen years ago) link
What the fuck is Campari? Pics please.
― Bimble, Friday, 13 July 2007 05:37 (sixteen years ago) link
I generally have decent luck asking barkeeps what they like to pour. Ask for a drink with campari and see what you get.
― libcrypt, Friday, 13 July 2007 05:37 (sixteen years ago) link
Campari is a red liquor. It's quite bitter, and extremely delicious.
― libcrypt, Friday, 13 July 2007 05:39 (sixteen years ago) link
The staff type of pub I am going to tonight will probably give me a look of "whatthafuk?"

It's quite bitter
like Benedictine? That stuff tastes like grass clippings. So I would find it quite different to Malibu & pineapple then?
― Hard like armour, Friday, 13 July 2007 05:42 (sixteen years ago) link
I haven't had either, but I think that if you find bitter tastes appealing, you may like campari.
― libcrypt, Friday, 13 July 2007 05:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Bitter tastes...so are you supposed to mix it with anything? What would happen if you mixed it with soda water?
― Bimble, Friday, 13 July 2007 06:02 (sixteen years ago) link
How about cranberry juice?
mmm Campari on the rocks....the official drink of Team Zissou.

i always suspected a chinotto/campari connection, but now it's confirmed
"The chinotto is a small bitter citrus fruit from the chinotto, or "myrtle-leaved orange" tree (Citrus aurantium var. myrtifolia). The tree grows to a height of 3m and can be found in Liguria, Tuscany, Sicily and Calabria regions of Italy. The chinotto is an essential flavor component of most Italian bitter amari digestifs, and of the popular Campari liqueur."

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!)
― He is "The Developer" and the children view him with a deep susp (c sharp major), Thursday, 17 October 2013 22:40 (ten years ago) link
can't imagine finding it bitter, unless you also find marmalade bitter.
― He is "The Developer" and the children view him with a deep susp (c sharp major), Thursday, 17 October 2013 22:41 (ten years ago) link
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.

campari g&t

Now that it's October swap the gin for bourbon. Boulvardier!
― Playoff Starts Here (san lazaro), Friday, 18 October 2013 03:22 (ten years ago) link
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

converted
now want to try campari IPA spritzer
― cozen, Saturday, 23 November 2013 19:10 (ten years ago) link
also 1x sbagliato
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.
