Campari - That old drink from the 70's

[colin m]

Right boys and girls, I need a bit of advice. Wednesday night is cocktail night over here. And for a reason not worth explaining, I've got Campari. Well it looks nice, but it's awful, So, how can it turn Campari into something drinkable ?

The only one I can remember is Campari and Soda, but god knows what it tastes like...sorry

[Airborne01]

Pour it down the sink and buy a bottle of white rum perhaps ... ?

[Tim Marlow]

I didn’t know it was still for sale :surprised: Sorry, never tried it!

P'raps you could use it to start your barbie? Maybe the fumes will add a little je ne sais quoi to the taste of the food!

[Allen Dewire]

Have you tried gurgling it on the web, let's say using "cocktails made with Campari" as search words? If you get no results, you could always pour it in the gas tank to drive down to the store and buy something better for Wednesday..............

That was its use at parties in the seventies wasn’t it….getting your Barbie started……

A favourite of mine is Campari and Um Bongo - a Campongo .:smiling5: Seriously though something like fresh orange juice or a sweetened fruit drink like Ribena etc shouldn't clash and will hopefully mask most of the rank flavour of the Campari ! it might even work ! If all else fails open a can of Red bull, get a shot glass and a large tumbler and make a Campari equivalent of a Jaegerbomb . You’ll be the toast of the neighborhood ( or a total outcast ):smiling5:

Not exactly one for me but there must be some people who like it. Some ideas here.
