Aperitivo · COCKTAIL GUIDE

Campari Spritz

With Charcuterie, Campari Spritz has enough bitter, citrus and sparkling to hold its place beside food. It carries a lean, light body and feels light in strength. Compared with Garibaldi, it leans more tart. The bitter character remains noticeable into the finish rather than disappearing after the first sip. For context, its listed food matches begin with Charcuterie and Olives, and its related-drink path leads to Garibaldi.
