Bitter Campari is an Italian alcoholic aperitivo, obtained with a secret formula from the infusion of herbs and fruit, including chinotto, in alcohol and water. In the Italian market, Campari mixed with soda water is sold in individual bottles as Campari Soda (10% alcohol by volume) it is considered the first pre-mixed drink in the world and has always been presented in its signature bottle that was designed in the ‘30s by Fortunato Depero. Its unmistakable conical shape is still today an icon of the Italian aperitivo.

Hello Albarosa!
The first time I saw Campari was in a restaurant in Perugia, Italy. They had a pyramid stack of them over two meters tall! Very beautiful. This past Christmas, the Neiman Marcus stores had Campari chandeliers at their stores. They are the same, yes? I saw them in San Antonio and Dallas, Texas. Here is the San Antonio photo. Have a great week!
