The Campari Spritz is the bitter, classic variant of the aperitivo spritz with the characteristically bitter Campari. Prosecco and a splash of soda make it light and sparkling - for everyone who finds the Aperol Spritz too sweet.

Instructions

  1. Fill a large wine glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour the Campari over the ice.
  3. Top up with Prosecco.
  4. Add a splash of soda and stir briefly.
  5. Garnish with an orange slice and serve.

Garnish: Orange slice

Pro tip: Pour in the Prosecco last and slowly, so that as much carbonation as possible is preserved.
