Description: A bolder, more bitter alternative to the Aperol Spritz, using Campari's more intense bitterness instead.
Cultural Background: Part of the same northern Italian aperitivo tradition as the Aperol Spritz, favored by those who prefer a stronger, less sweet bitter drink.
Tips: Build in this order — Campari first, then prosecco, then soda — for the correct dilution.
Variations: Swap Campari for Aperol for the sweeter, milder original Spritz.
Serving Suggestion: Serve over plenty of ice, in a large glass, as a bold pre-dinner aperitif.
