Have you had the pleasure of meeting the Aperol Spritz’ edgy sister? Invented in 1860 by Gaspare Campari, the bitter Italian aperitivo has been a favorite for cocktail imbibers ever since. This refreshing, and elegant campari spritz recipe combines the best of a spirited Negroni with the Aperol Spritz, swapping its fruitier counterpart with Italy’s iconic red bitter. Botanical gin and floral wildflower honey complement the bitter twisted sister while a splash of sparkling water adds the effervescent tickle you’ve longing for in a classic spritz.
