People who come into our store are surprised when they go to find a bottle of Campari and see the entire category of red bitter apertivo spirits out there.

It's so nice the best way to have it is with some ice and soda water, maybe a lime wedge, sitting out in the sun. But you can bet it'll take your Negronis out to another level, into outer space, all the way out past the red planet.
