Campari Tasting Notes:

You will have to like a bit of a bitter cocktail to enjoy the Campari Cocktail.  On the nose you smell the orange and the aromatic of the bitters.  Your first sips come across bitter and then it will ease so you taste the orange of the cocktail.  This is an after-dinner cocktail and will be sipped slowly.  The bright red color makes this a very good-looking visual cocktail.  This could be a strong cocktail for the first time Campari drinkers.  Those that already love it will really enjoy this cocktail.
