DRINKS BY COMPLEXITY 52 THE STORY OF CAMPARI
Born in Milan Gaspare Campari began serving cocktails made with his own unique, bitter aperitivo at Milan’s Caffè Campari in 1867. Young Milanese flocked here to enjoy these intriguing bittersweet drinks and later to the Camparino bar opened by Gaspare’s son Davide in 1915. Under Davide’s direction, the global popularity of CAMPARI soared. Not least because he understood the power of design and creativity in building brand recognition, and engaged with leading designers, illustrators and filmmakers to bring the vibrant red drink to life. By the mid-1900s, CAMPARI had become indelibly linked to Milan’s peerless culture and synonymous with avant-garde creativity and thinking. Today, we invite you to raise a glass to the art and influence of an aperitivo icon with the Little Red Book of Classic CAMPARI Serves & Negroni Twists. Cin cin!
