Campari Citrus Fizz




Campari Citrus Fizz

2 parts Campari 
1 part Grapefruit (Pompelmo) Pellegrino Soda
Juice of 1 lime per drink

Campari is one of my favorite drinks, It is an Italian Liqueur and a classic aperitif.  It is made with a blend of herbs, barks and fruit (chinotto, which is sour orange from a myrtle-leafed orange tree which produces small biter oranges)

It was invented in 1860 by Gaspare Campari in Novarra, Itlay with production being in Milan. Yes, it originally derived its red color from crushed insects, but they stopped this in 2006.  

So enjoy this perfect summer cocktail, insect free. 

"Evviva!"
