This liquor is just not my cup of tea. I tried with bourbon and sweet vermouth, shaken the first time. Stirred the next. It is a strong bitter taste. I followed the recipe on the back of the bottle with orange juice. Definitely tasted like grapefruit juice. For those who enjoy this Italian liquor, by all means have at it. Just not for me.

When I first had Campari, it was the most disgusting alcohol I'd tasted. There are great herbal notes there, but they're drowned by bitterness (a type of bitterness akin to what a child might taste when trying to eat wild plant stems and roots). It was not pleasant. Additionally, the drink is swimming with sugar, likely an attempt to cover the bitterness. Sugar usually dumbs down drinks, so the Campari was shelved for months.I recently decided to taste it again, albeit with less Campari than was used before, and found it less unpleasant than my initial experience. The sweetness was unchanged (~ as much sugar as a very sweet triple sec), but the root-like bitterness was tolerable, allowing for the herbal notes to come through.

Does exactly what Campari is supposed to do. It’s 3 * in my opinion, only because I have little love for the intense bitter notes and I have a hard time finding cocktails for myself or others with me to enjoy.However if that is your thing it does that very well (5*) Personally it works for some thinks ( Bicicletta or Garibaldi), but I will be using Aperol (sweeter and less ABV) more often and keeping a 375ml for the few I like.

Fruity without being fruity (I know that doesn’t make sense). Very refreshing, more bitter than sweet. Beautiful pomegranate seed color. Wonderful just with soda or seltzer and a squeeze of lime. A great aperitif - complementary , not so showy that it dulls the appetite.
Campari makes my Gordon's Gin taste Great. I bought Campari years ago but didn't know how to use it. Now I augment my Gin and Bourbon drinks with it and make awesome cocktails. It does go very well with Gordon's gin. I don't know why it needs to cost so much though. Seems I can get Gordon's for 19USD for 1.75L but Campari costs 32USD for 750ml. So, Campari costs 4 times as much as Gordon's. I do wish it was cheaper. Thanfully it doesn't take too much.
I dont have enough hair on my chest to drink this as an aperitif, but I can mix 3 ingredients and make a delicious cocktail, whats the sense in drinking if you dont like the taste? 1 1/4 oz Rye,or just whiskey, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 1 oz Campari, stir it around in a mason jar filled halfway with ice, pour it over a lowball glass of fresh ice, or just in a glass, you can even show off with a orange peel twist. Want another one, look up Man O War, simple, and delicious. Dont know sbout you but I like easy !
I pride myself in uniqueness. And in being open to the non-standard unique. And in that vein, loving amaros as I do, I have tried almost every Amaro on the U.S. market both from Italy and France. And when it comes to the end result, Campari is just the best. Hands down. My favorite. The most balanced. The most exciting and calming. My favorite of all of the amaros. Simply the best.
I luv Compari! Always have a bottle in my bar. Who doesn't like Negroni's ....with of course Monkey 47 Gin. Best match ever. But...can't really comment on my recent (non) purchase because Total Wine didn't have it in stock! Got to ask...why would you ask for review on a product which you told me after I ordered it that you didn't have it in stock? Little odd to say the least. But still luv Total Wine!
We bought a bottle a couple of years ago just to try a couple of cocktail recipes my wife thought looked 'pretty'. She adored the soft red & pink colors of the drinks. My love didn't realize the bitterness that Campari imparted & so the bottle was tucked away in the back of the cabinet. I recently rediscovered that bottle, made myself a Negroni cocktail & have now become quite attached to that combination of sweet and bitter flavors. My family prefer sweet cocktails, hiding the alcohol content where my taste runs more to the bolder, more complex flavors. Even for the vermouth, I prefer to mix equal amounts of sweet & dry to tone down the sweetness. My Negroni now includes equal measures of G&J Grenals gin, Campari & my vermouth mixture, over ice. Very nice. I have ... MoreWe bought a bottle a couple of years ago just to try a couple of cocktail recipes my wife thought looked 'pretty'. She adored the soft red & pink colors of the drinks.

In other words, you’re either going to love this stuff or hate it. I grew up in New Zealand and love the taste of Vegemite. I did not grow up in Italy and hate the taste of Campari. I want to like it, because there are several drinks that include it that I like without the Campari. But I don’t, so it’s Manhattans instead of Boulevardiers and Git and Its instead of Negronis for me.
