Why It Works
- A mixture of membership soda and Prosecco provides acidity, yeasted notes, and further effervescence to this refreshing aperitivo.
- The olive garnish provides a briny, savory counterpoint to the bittersweet notes of the Campari.
In Speakeasy, Jason Kosmas and Dushan Zaric of Staff Solely say that Campari spritz is the predecessor of the favored Aperol spritz: “Whereas the Aperol model is smooth, the Campari model is daring and assertive.” It is served with a inexperienced olive, which is a surprisingly scrumptious associate for the tangy, barely bitter cocktail. Contemplate serving these with a pre-dinner unfold that features cheeses, charcuterie, olives, and pickles.
