3.66 / 5
Bitter Peach is a refreshing and bittersweet cocktail that combines the iconic Italian aperitif, Campari, with the sweet and juicy flavor of peach nectar. This drink has a deep red color with a hint of orange, and a delicate fizz from the addition of soda water. The bitter notes of Campari are balanced out by the sweetness of the peach nectar, creating a complex and harmonious flavor profile. This cocktail is perfect for summer sipping or as a pre-dinner drink to stimulate the appetite. The history of this cocktail dates back to the 1920s, when it was first created in Italy, and it has since become a beloved classic. The combination of flavors in Bitter Peach makes it a tantalizing and unique choice for any cocktail lover.
