Campari - That old drink from the 70's

[Guest]

This :tears-of-joy: looks a winner Colin. Nice & refreshing. Can I come around PLEASE :tongue-out:

The Campari spritz is bitter and bubbly: a refreshing mixed drink for sipping! Make this easy cocktail with 3 ingredients in 3 minutes.

Need a light mixed drink? Try the Campari spritz! Bitter and bubbly, this cocktail mixes that popular aperitif with sparkling wine and soda water. What could be more refreshing? Campari is bitter-forward, so this cocktail is a drink is made for Campari lovers. It’s a nice change from the Negroni or Americano. Here’s how to make it! (If you don’t love bitter flavors, we’d recommend the Aperol spritz instead.)

Have you tried gurgling it on the web

I have, but was hoping for some personal recommendations.

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 !

You've obviously tried Campari Tony, and have a clear grasp of the problem I'm facing. It is awful. But it's mine !

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

No it's not for me either, however, on the link you provided, thank you, is a Jungle bird - that might be the one.

Probably find it strips acrylic paint at 10 metres

I'm having trouble believing it's actually a drink.

Did the advert feature Lorraine Chase and Luton Airport

I remember that, I must have been about 8 years old.

Thank you Laurie.

Thank you all for your input. There's two strong contenders here. I'm obviously going to have to do a dry run first- dry, not likely. Good job i'm on leave next week.

Did the advert feature Lorraine Chase and Luton Airport - or am I misremembering?

Here you go..

Cocktail night completed. The jungle bird wasn't to bad. Although it had more dark rum than Campari in it.

Colin, you want a personal recommendation? My favourite cocktail by a country mile is a negroni - equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and campari. Serve it with a slice of orange, on the rocks - it's superb.

Then again, I do like a cocktail or two - here's my drinks cabinet.

Fear not Paul, I've still got plenty of Campari left. The Negroni might be next on the list.

Tut tut! Just look at all that storage space you could use for models!

They'd look much better than the hangovers you're gonna get from drinking that lot! :smiling3:

Speaking of, I have a vague memory of 'orrible Negrony hangover. Possibly as a result of a "...hold my beer...." moment.

[PaulinKendal]

I don't get hangovers any more - I'm too old for them!

We just have a single, top notch cocktail in the evening, and leave it at that. If you make them good and strong you get a real whoosh! from the kick of alcohol, feel a bit silly and giggly, and that's it! A second one would only be a let-down!

(That one in the picture is called a Closing Argument - equal parts lime juice, mezcal, green Chartreuse and maraschino - it's a belter!)

Been on the wagon since early 80s due to over sampling while mixing a "Skip and Go Naked" punch. Now only an occasional glass of wine w/meal.
