Campari Soda
A bittersweet classic with a sparkle — Campari and soda water at their purest, most refreshing.
Ingredients
- Campari45 ml
- Icefill the glass
- Soda water, chilled135 ml
- Orange, for garnish (optional)1 slice
Method
- Chill the glass and soda water thoroughly before serving.
- Fill the glass with large, fresh ice cubes to keep the drink cold without diluting it too quickly.
- Pour the soda water into the glass first — it preserves the carbonation best.
- Pour the Campari carefully over the top; the heavier liquid sinks through the bubbles and mixes itself.
- Do not stir the drink, so the carbonation is retained.
- Garnish with a slice of orange and serve at once.
About this drink
Campari Soda was born in Italy as a simple aperitivo, where Campari’s bitterness meets the crisp bubbles of soda water. The drink is a tribute to simplicity — no shaker, no stirring, only precision and patience. Since the 1860s, its crimson-red colour and bittersweet flavour have made it a fixture before dinner in Italy.
