Description
The Campari Soda is perhaps the most purist and authentic Italian aperitif. It became popular as early as 1915 and perfectly embodies the "aperitivo" concept: a simple, bitter drink that cleanses the palate and stimulates the appetite for the upcoming meal. The mixture of the iconic, bitter Campari and sparkling soda water is refreshing, dry, and uncompromising. It is often served in specially designed conical glasses and is a timeless symbol of Italian style.
Preparation
- Fill a small tumbler glass with large ice cubes.
- Pour the Campari over the ice.
- Top up with well-chilled soda water.
- Stir briefly and gently.
- Garnish with half an orange slice.
