How classic is Campari? In the traditional sense of the word, cocktails such as the Negroni and Americano come to mind. In the modern twist on the classic, recipes such as Tivoli Cocktail, Mediterranean Escape, Buono Rosso and Naughty Dog ring a bell. The Tivoli Cocktail strikes a chord due to Bourbon Heritage Month running in high gear with the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in full swing this week. Campari is meant to be accompanied with great food and fabulous friends. With the assistance of talented bartenders, Campari has managed to accessorize itself with many extraordinary spirits including bourbon, whiskey and whiskey based liqueurs. For a taste of something rooted in classic cocktail culture with notes of American heritage intertwined, delve into the spirited world of Campari. What was once merely an aperitif or beginning becomes a true feast of indulgence.
