Description: A vigorously shaken, frothy Campari drink, following the same "shakerato" technique traditionally used for iced Italian coffee.
Cultural Background: Borrows its name and technique from the Italian caffè shakerato, applying the same hard-shaken, frothy approach to Campari instead of espresso.
Tips: Shake much longer and harder than you would for a standard cocktail — the whole appeal is the frothy, aerated texture.
Variations: A splash of soda water after straining lightens the drink for a longer sip.
Serving Suggestion: Serve up, well chilled, with a visible foam cap.
