What Is a Campari Spritz?
If Aperol is the crowd-pleaser, Campari is its sophisticated older sibling.
A Campari Spritz uses the same structure—but delivers a deeper, more bitter, and more complex flavour.
The Classic Campari Spritz Ratio
- 3 parts Prosecco
- 2 parts Campari
- 1 part soda water
Same formula. Totally different experience.

- 30ml soda water
- Ice
- Orange slice
How to Make It
