The Campari Soda is purism in a glass - just Campari, soda and ice. It is precisely this simplicity that makes it a favorite of purists who want to enjoy the characteristic herbal bitterness undiluted. A true Italian classic for the aperitivo.
Instructions
- Fill a tumbler with ice cubes.
- Pour the Campari over the ice.
- Top up with ice-cold soda.

- Garnish with an orange slice.
Garnish: An orange slice or lemon twist
Pro tip: Use well-chilled soda with strong carbonation - it keeps the drink lively longer and emphasizes the fresh note.
