Campari

Campari and soda is a great alternative to my usual Manhattan - good if I don't want too much of a buzz.

I find it is a good after dinner drink, but alright before, also the taste was excellent.

I think its a wine that you have to try at least once. Campari will not be on the top 10 of my drinks but it will be the first to go to in a resteraunts.

It's a very nice liqueur and haven't tried it for a while now but have found it to be a nice wine had some while in Majorca at a resteraunt, I asked for something before dinner and came with Campari a little pricey but worth it.

I first drank Campari in Italy because of pretty color. I love it. It's a little bitter, but sweet. It lasts a long time because you just sip it a little at a time.

Campari is Fabulous with orange juice. Takes time to learn to love this but when you do, you'll be an addict. Give it a try.

Campari is a bitter herbal liqueur, which is extremely popular in its native Italy. It's light on the alcohol (26%), making it an excellent aperetif. I am fond of herbal liquers, and I have long been partial to Campari. Campari is an acquired taste: very aromatic, very bitter, and hard to describe to the uninitiated. Most often, I drink this mixed as an Americano: Equal parts Campari and red vermouth, on the rocks, with a dash of orange bitters and a splash of tonic water. When I'm feeling lazy but crave the taste of Campari, I'll pour two ounces over ice. When I'm in the mood for Campari and a true cocktail, I'll mix a Negroni: two parts each Campari and gin (I prefer Bombay Sapphire), one part red vermouth, a dash of Angoustora Bitters, shaken with ice, strained, with an orange wedge. Aahhh. I want one right now...

Campari, to be honest, has taken me years to come to terms with. Why did I bother? Well I find it quite exciting and if I'm honest there is the snob value, however that aside, I now adore the drink. One measure Campari, two/three measures soda, plenty of ice and a slice of orange. Drink until you can't pronounce it.

We bought some Campari and it tastes like chemical bleach, we are Campari virgins though! Should it taste like very cheap gin mixed with Domestos? Other reviews would be appreciated so we can figure out if we have a dodgy bottle and need a refund, or if we need to do some serious experimenting with mixers.
