Campari

I mean, I like it.

No one else did.

Campari - a distinctively red, Italian aperitif with over 60 secret ingredients, usually consumed with soda and an orange twist, although also an essential part of the Negroni.

As a bitters, Campari lives up to it's reputation. At first taste, a slightly floral sweetness is gone entirely once you swallow, replaced by a strong, bitter after taste. Both it's aroma and the first mellow sweetness have something of cut grass about them, but the whole experience is difficult to describe.

Campari is not for everyone. No one else who tried it liked it. They complained it tasted of gasoline.

But, I could see getting very used to this...

We'll have to see.
I'll keep you updated on my burgeoning affair with this exotic Italian.
I know you're just dying to know more.
