What Can I Make with Campari?
One bottle of Campari unlocks more cocktails than almost any other spirit. Here's every recipe worth knowing.
Negroni
The most celebrated Campari cocktail. Equal parts gin, Campari, sweet vermouth stirred with ice. An orange twist to garnish. The bittersweet benchmark.
Aperol Spritz (swap Aperol for Campari)
Campari Spritz is simply Campari in place of Aperol in the classic spritz. Campari is more bitter and less sweet — a grown-up alternative for bitters lovers.
Boulevardier
The whisky Negroni: equal parts bourbon, Campari, sweet vermouth. Richer and more complex than the gin version. Highly recommended.
Campari Soda
50ml Campari over ice, topped with soda water and garnished with an orange slice. The Italian classic — simple, bitter, perfect as an aperitif.
Jungle Bird
45ml dark rum, 22ml Campari, 45ml pineapple juice, 15ml lime juice, 15ml simple syrup. Shake, strain. A tiki drink that shows Campari's tropical range.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Campari the same as Aperol?
- No. Both are Italian aperitifs but Campari is significantly more bitter (25% ABV in Italy, 28% in most markets) while Aperol is sweeter and lower alcohol (11% ABV). They're not interchangeable but can substitute for each other in most cocktails with taste adjustment.
- How much Campari do I need for a Negroni?
- A standard Negroni uses 25–30ml of Campari, the same amount as gin and sweet vermouth. A 700ml bottle will make around 20–25 Negronis.
