Although not everybody likes the bitter taste of Campari, this bubbly cocktail given to us by author and former Gramercy Tavern managing partner Nick Mautone, has a balance of sweet and tart that makes it a great apéritif. The cocktail mix can be made as little as 1 hour ahead, but it’s best if made a full day in advance.
INGREDIENTS
- Ice
- 1 part Grapefruit Bitters
- 1 part sparkling Moscato
INSTRUCTIONS
- Fill a wineglass halfway with ice. Strain Grapefruit Bitters over ice, top with Moscato, and squeeze a wedge of grapefruit from the bitters into the glass. Stir.
NICE! I am From GRENADA and we drink a Lot of CAMPARI cocktails on the beaches down there. I recently served my girlfreind a Campari Cocktail and she almost Puked!
Its refreshing to meet others who can appreciate the exotic taste of Campari! You guys are all welcome to visit Grenada. Bring the "Prosecco", I'll have the Campari!
I'm sipping this now. A couple thoughts...
I'd definitely advise against using a moscato for this drink, unless you like things *really* sweet -- I used a Brut prosecco, and it's still a little sweet for my tastes.
Also, I'm searching for the grapefruit component a bit, despite using a whole grapefruit in the simple syrup mixture, and another half for the juice. The campari is overwhelming it. I'd pull back on this a fair bit.
Needs some tweaking, but I think this could be nice. Next time, I'll cut the campari in half, perhaps use gin instead of vodka, and stick with the prosecco instead of the moscato.
Fully agreed. I'm tired of bartenders wincing when I order it!
I can't wait to try this. Campari is a unique drink that doesn't get nearly enough attention.
Anything to remind people of the existence of Campari. I've been trying for three years to make Negronis the It Drink of the Moment.
I absolutely love this drink!
Nice
