A simple yet surprisingly elegant aperitif that blends the light, crisp character of lager with the bittersweet punch of Campari. Refreshing, effervescente e leggermente amarognolo, è perfetto come pre-dinner drink.
Use a 15 oz beer mug. Add Campari. Top with cold lager beer and allow the colors to blend naturally.
Served in a beer mug, golden with a gentle reddish tint from the Campari. No garnish.
Perfect with salty snacks, fried appetizers, potato chips, spicy wings or simple antipasti.
Born from Italian aperitivo culture, this mix became popular for its ability to soften Campari’s bitterness while keeping its signature personality intact.
Ideal for casual gatherings, aperitivo hour, or anytime a quick, refreshing and slightly bitter drink is desired.
Crisp and bubbly, with a mild bitterness from Campari balanced by the smooth, refreshing body of the lager.
Bold but approachable. A simple drink with a surprisingly refined aperitif soul.
Try with wheat beer or pilsner, or add a splash of soda for extra effervescence.
