Why It Works
- A combination of club soda and Prosecco adds acidity, yeasted notes, and extra effervescence to this refreshing aperitivo.
- The olive garnish adds a briny, savory counterpoint to the bittersweet notes of the Campari.
In Speakeasy, Jason Kosmas and Dushan Zaric of Employees Only say that Campari spritz is the predecessor of the popular Aperol spritz: “Whereas the Aperol version is soft, the Campari version is bold and assertive.” It’s served with a green olive, which is a surprisingly delicious partner for the tangy, slightly bitter cocktail. Consider serving these with a pre-dinner spread that includes cheeses, charcuterie, olives, and pickles.
