Campari Spritz

A good Campari Spritz starts with Campari, whose distinctive bitter orange, herbal and aromatic character defines the cocktail. A crisp Prosecco adds freshness and lively bubbles, while soda water lengthens the drink without masking Campari's flavour.

For Drinkero's version, we recommend Campari Bitter with Mionetto Prosecco Treviso Brut DOC. The Prosecco's fresh, sparkling character balances the intensity of Campari while keeping the cocktail bright and refreshing.

Complete the drink with Fever-Tree Premium Soda Water and a fresh orange slice.

The Campari Spritz should retain Campari's characteristic bitterness while remaining refreshing and easy to drink. Prosecco adds fruit, freshness and carbonation, while soda water lightens the mixture.

Our ratio of 90 ml Prosecco, 60 ml Campari and 30 ml soda water creates a bold Spritz with enough sparkling wine to balance Campari without hiding its bittersweet character.

The Campari Spritz belongs to the Italian aperitivo tradition, combining a bitter aperitif with sparkling wine and soda water.

Campari itself was created in Italy in the 19th century and became a defining ingredient in Italian aperitivo culture. Pairing it with sparkling wine and soda creates a lighter, longer serve that retains Campari's distinctive bittersweet character while adding refreshing bubbles.

The Campari Spritz is built directly in the serving glass. Fill a large wine glass generously with ice, then add chilled Prosecco and Campari before topping with soda water.

Stir gently to combine the ingredients while preserving as much carbonation as possible. Avoid vigorous stirring, which can flatten the Prosecco and soda water.

Finish with a fresh orange slice to complement Campari's citrus character.
