As far as Campari goes, it is good stuff. Extremely bitter, which makes it hard to drink for a lot of Americans. Lot's of good cocktails can be made with it, the Negroni the first coming to mind. Little known fact: The colorant used to give Campari its bright red hue is from dried cochineal insects typically found on prickly pear cactuses in Mexico.

It's an italian bitter. I like Campari Orange. Although my European friends tease me about cutting it with soda water. So... I like it fizzy... and yes, Campari & orange is a "ladies" drink. Okay Sean... found it. I'll book mark this blog. ;) Campari is good stuff. It’s an italian bitter. I like Campari Orange. Although my European friends tease me about cutting it with soda water.
