The Cocktail Corner by Tessa Cloud, Assistant General Manager
Campari, the bittersweet Italian aperitif, was invented in 1860 by Gaspare Campari in Novara, Italy. A master mixologist, Gaspare crafted the vibrant red drink from a secret blend of herbs, spices, and fruit peels. It gained popularity at his Milan café, Camparino, which opened in 1867. After his death in 1882, his son Davide expanded the brand, launching industrial production in 1904 and exporting it globally. Campari became a cocktail staple, featured in the Negroni and Americano, and grew into a cultural icon. Today, over 160 years later, its original recipe endures, embodying Italian sophistication. Classic Negroni Ingredients: • 1 oz Campari
• 1 oz Your Favorite Gin • 1 oz sweet vermouth • Orange peel (for garnish)
Instructions: 1. Fill a mixing glass with ice. 2. Pour in the Campari, gin, and sweet vermouth. 3. Stir gently for about 20-30 seconds until well-chilled. 4. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube (or serve up in a chilled cocktail glass, if preferred). 5. Garnish with a twist of orange peel - express the oils over the drink and place it in the glass
