Anyone else like Campari?
Campari is an Italian alcohol invented back in about 1850. Anyways it is very bitter and has about 25% alcohol content and if I'm given a bottle it usually is gone within a couple of hours and gets me good and smashed. Now I had a couple friends try this stuff and they said it was the vilest crap they ever tasted and could not finish their drinks. I will grant that is very bitter (if anyone has tried the Italian soda - Chinotto, it kind of tastes like that but not sweet). It is very popular in Italy. Any other fans out there?

I enjoy it quite a bit mixed w/ club soda and a lime wedge.
It's a great beverage when doing blow. |

Can you buy this at a local ABC store or is this something you have to import from Italy?

Normally the higher end ones will have it as your skid row type liquor store will not sell much of this stuff. It's about 20 bucks a bottle. I normally drink it straight or with a bit of lime or orange juice with it. |

Campari + club soda = amazing

I like it. Bitter drinks seem to be popular as aperitifs in Italy.
