I’ve posted about Campari here before – that ruby red bitter apéritif from Northern Italy."…The recipe, which has remained unchanged, originated in Novara in 1860 and is the base for some of the most famous cocktails around the world. Campari is an alcoholic spirit obtained from the infusion of bitter herbs, aromatic plants and fruit in alcohol and water. With its distinct colour, aroma and flavour, Campari has always been a symbol of passion - passion that expresses itself in terms of seduction, sensuality and transgression..."
~ Gruppo Campari
Transgression???
Campari & Soda is one of my favorites, refreshing and just a bit exotic – oh look: here I am enjoying a before dinner drink on my balcony overlooking the Mediterranean while Signore Blogger puts a little Ornella Vanoni on the stereo.
And Campari with either grapefruit or orange juice is like a party in a glass, only more sophisticated. It’s Italian.
This year is the 150th anniversary of Campari and they are celebrating with a series of labels created by the artists AVAF, Tobias Rehberger and Vanessa Beecroft.
