What is Campari?
Campari is a bitter Italian Aperitif with a bright red hue. It is also used in cocktails such as Garibaldi Cocktail (Campari Orange) and the classic Negroni. It pairs refreshingly well with fizzy club soda and bubbly and slightly sweet Prosecco to create a cocktail that is invigorating yet not shy on flavor.
Aperol Spritz vs Campari Spritz
The Aperol Spritz and Campari Spritz are similar in ingredients and flavor. Both Aperol and Campari are Italian bitters referred to as Apertifs. Aperol is sweeter and more balanced, while Campari is noticeably bitter and has a higher alcohol content. Both cocktails are fizzy and refreshing.
