Campari Cocktails
Explore 42 cocktail recipes made with Campari
Campari is one of those unmistakable bar staples: vividly red, unapologetically bitter, and packed with herbal complexity. Made in Italy from a closely guarded blend of botanicals, it brings a firm, refreshing bite that can turn a simple mix into something structured and grown-up. In cocktails, Campari’s signature profile acts like a backbone—adding depth, contrast, and a lingering finish that plays beautifully against sweetness, citrus, and strong spirits.
You’ll find Campari at the heart of some of the most iconic aperitivo-style drinks, from the spirit-forward Negroni and its whiskey cousin the Boulevardier to lighter, bubbly serves like a spritz or a Negroni Sbagliato Pitcher. It also shines in bright, juicy combinations such as the Garibaldi, where orange softens the bitterness into something vibrant and approachable, and in creative twists like the Coffee Negroni, where roasted notes amplify its herbal edge. Expect cocktails that feel crisp and appetite-whetting, with a bold flavor arc—bittersweet up front, aromatic through the middle, and satisfyingly dry at the end.
