campari

Some drinks are meant to be made and consumed immediately, others benefit from aging. The Boulevardier — a wintertime <a href="https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020312-classic-negroni">Negroni</a> that substitutes bourbon for gin — swings both ways. Give this blend of bourbon, Campari and sweet vermouth time to mesh in a tightly sealed bottle in the fridge and the drink’s texture skews softer and more velvety. This batch recipe is lightly diluted, enough to enjoy the drink up, without ice, but not so much that it can’t be enjoyed over ice. One rule to follow: If you’re letting the batch sit for more than two weeks, leave the water out and add it the day you’re serving. Otherwise, marry it all, let it sit and drink as desired — or needed.

Batched Boulevardier

bourbon or rye whiskey

Campari

sweet vermouth

filtered water (or up to to 4 1/2 ounces water, if you prefer a more diluted drink)

Orange peels,

Combine the bourbon, Campari, sweet vermouth and water in a spouted measuring cup or pitcher, or a medium bowl. Pour the cocktail blend, using a funnel if needed, into a 750-milliliter bottle; seal and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 2 weeks.

To serve, pour 4 ounces Boulevardier into a lowball or coupe glass. Holding an orange peel by its long edges, skin facing down into the glass, pinch the peel to release the citrus oils, then add it to the glass and serve.

How to make a Campari Nobile

Don't let the color fool you. With its gentle pink hue, the Jasmine may look as prissy and cute as a Hello Kitty armband, and its unassuming appearance and sprightly color has no doubt appealed to many drinkers of the once-ubiquitous Cosmo. But unlike that candy-colored alcopop, the Jasmine is all business, its alluring tint supplied not by the Cosmopolitan's innocuous red cranberry juice but by the intensely garnet Campari, an Italian aperitif famous for its powerful bitter flavor.

When I posted a photo of this very modest-looking cake on Instagram, I was blown away by the response. Honestly, it didn’t look like much — a generic yellow cake with a golden top. I think just the very notion of putting Campari and olive oil in a cake is what made people stop and “like” it. And it is a pretty terrific flavor combination: The citrusy bittersweet character of the Campari goes really well with the fragrant oil, to which I also add melted butter for richness, as well as lots of fresh citrus juice and zest. On its own, the cake is a pretty plain-looking thing, but you can dress it up for a party, adding orange segments, berries and dollops of whipped cream or crème fraîche to the top. If you want to go one step further, simmer some Campari and a bit of sugar down to a syrup, and drizzle that all over the cake. It turns the cake more pink and accentuates its boozy flavor.

Campari Olive Oil Cake

unsalted butter

all-purpose flour

granulated sugar

fine sea salt

baking powder

baking soda

160 milliliters whole milk

olive oil

eggs

grapefruit zest

orange zest

lemon

60 milliliters fresh grapefruit juice

orange juice

Whipped crème fraîche

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper. (You can use a regular 9-inch cake pan that is at least 2 inches deep, but the cake will be harder to unmold.)

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk together butter, milk, oil, eggs, Campari, citrus zests, and citrus juices. Fold in the dry ingredients, then scrape the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake until the top is golden and springs back when lightly pressed in the center, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (A cake tester might emerge with a few crumbs, which is OK.)

Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Then run a butter knife around the edges and release the sides. Serve with dollops of whipped crème fraîche. This cake is best served on the same day that it’s baked.

A marvel of a cocktail with an enviably colorful peerage, the Boulevardier is effectively a cross between a Manhattan and a Negroni. In colder months, it’s a magnificent drink to have as a fallback when you want something richer and more complex than just a whiskey but can never seem to think of what else to order. It’s composed of two parts American whiskey, with one part each of sweet vermouth and Campari. Taken one way, it’s a Manhattan with a portion of Campari swapped in for the regular few drops of Angostura or other aromatic bitters. Seen the other way, it’s a Negroni with whiskey in place of the gin.

How to make a Negroni

Make a classic boulevardier cocktail if you're a fan of negronis. It's similar, but made with bourbon instead of gin for a more harmonious blend

Boulevardier

orange peel twist,

Pour the bourbon, vermouth and Campari into a mixing glass, jug or cocktail shaker. Add a large handful of ice, and stir until the outside of the glass feels very cold.

Strain the cocktail into an ice-filled tumbler, and garnish with a twist of orange peel.

Refreshingly bitter and just sweet enough, the Negroni is a classic cocktail that's equal parts gin, vermouth and Campari. Cheers!

Negroni (Top Campari Drink)

(2 tablespoons) gin*

(2 tablespoons) sweet or semi-sweet red vermouth

(2 tablespoons) Campari

Ice, ice!)

For the garnish: Orange peel

Combine the gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari in a cocktail mixing glass (or any other type of glass). Fill the mixing glass with 1 handful ice and stir continuously for 30 seconds.

Add ice to a lowball glass, and strain the drink into the glass (or you can use a cocktail glass without ice).

Use a knife to remove a 1&#8243; wide strip of the orange peel. Squeeze the orange peel into the drink to release the oils. Gently run the peel around the edge of the glass, then place it in the glass and serve.

This bittersweet cocktail has received a surge in attention recently, with its balance and heft. Try the traditional Negroni now!

I discovered this recipe in the 2006 edition of The Museum of the American Cocktail Pocket Recipe Guide, which was my go-to (pre-smartphone) as a bartender at Gramercy Tavern and the Pegu Club. Later, I traced it back to Greg Boehm’s 1974 edition of Mr. Boston Official Bartender’s Guide.

The name means “little rose” in Spanish, which undoubtedly refers to the crimson hue the Campari imparts to it. The original recipe calls for it to be prepared with equal parts tequila, Campari, and a split measure of dry and sweet vermouth, which yields more of a Negroni-esque Rosita. Seventeen years later, it appeared in the same proportion and prep with a dash of bitters added in Gary Regan’s The Bartender’s Bible. Fifteen years after that, the pocket guide adapts the recipe to the proportions I’ve adopted here and modernizes preparation from stirring over crushed ice in the glass to chilling and diluting in a mixing glass so it can be served over fresh ice.

One logical variation would be to prepare it with blanco tequila using the original recipe—which has no dash of bitters—and serve it on the rocks like a Negroni. You have history on your side if you prefer a lemon twist.

Stir with ice, then strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with the orange twist.

This is the classic Italian way to open a meal: the Negroni, a bittersweet palate cleanser that makes way for the evening’s delights. Adding a bottle of Campari to the liquor cabinet opens up a world of cocktail possibilities. In any case, drink this cold. 

This version came to us from Jim Meehan, a bartender and an owner of Please Don't Tell, a speakeasy in the East Village.

This festive Thanksgiving cocktail balances bittersweet Campari with unsweetened 100% cranberry juice. This drink’s tartness and bitterness awakens the palate.

Lipstick Memory (Cranberry and Campari Cocktail)

R.W. Knudsen Just Cranberry Juice (or other unsweetened 100% cranberry juice)

Tbsp. sugar

rosemary

dry sparkling wine

Cran-Rosemary Juice

Rosemary sprig, torched if desired

This festive, refreshing cocktail balances bittersweet Campari with tart, unsweetened 100% cranberry juice. Don’t substitute a version that has apple juice or any other ingredients on the label; you want that full-on puckering flavor. (Note: 100% juice doesn’t always mean 100% cranberry juice.) This drink’s tartness and bitterness awakens the palate for whatever you’ve got cooking.

To make Cran-Rosemary Juice, combine unsweetened cranberry juice, 2 Tbsp. water, and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar, then immediately remove from heat. Add 2 rosemary sprigs and let steep 4 minutes. Strain into a liquid measuring cup or 12-ounce resealable jar. Let cool to room temperature and use immediately, or seal and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.

To make the cocktail, add sparkling wine to a Collins glass, being careful to let fizz settle to get an accurate measurement. Add Campari and Cran-Rosemary Juice, then fill with ice. If you’d like to torch the rosemary sprig, hold it next to the burner of a gas stove or near a match for a few seconds, just to warm a bit. Give the cocktail a very brief, gentle stir, then garnish with rosemary.

To make the perfect classic negroni cocktail all you need is balance: use equal parts gin, vermouth and Campari, and choose the best products you have in reach

Classic negroni

Pour the gin, vermouth and Campari into a mixing glass or jug with ice. Stir well until the outside of the glass feels cold.

a great variation of the beloved classic cocktail.

Lillet Negroni

oz Lillet

oz Campari

oz spring 44 gin

orange bitters

orange peel (pith removed)

Place one large ice cube into a single old fashioned, low ball, or other straight-sided glass that is 4 inches or so tall. If you don't have large ice cubes, fill the glass halfway with small cubes. Large ice cubes are preferred for this cocktail, but in a pinch, small ones will do.

Combine the Lillet, Campari, Gin, and the dashes of orange bitters in a bar pitcher or even a 2-cup measuring cup place several ice cubes. Large ice cubes are preferred for this cocktail. But if you don't have large ice cubes, use the smaller ones.

Using a bar spoon or any long spoon, stir the cocktail for 20 – 30 seconds. Stir the cocktail for half as much to not dilute as much if using small ice cubes.

Pour into the ice-filled glass.

Twist the orange peel over the cocktail to release some of the oil from the rind.

Place the peel into the cocktail and serve.

The Black Negroni is a new take on the classic Negroni. The Combination of Old Tom gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, and some Mr. Black cold brew coffee liquor. Add an orange peel and some Ice and wahoo! You have an incredibly delicious cocktail.

The Black Negroni

oz Spring44 Old Tom Gin

¾ oz Campari (or another bitter aperitif such as Spring44 Fortify)

¾ oz Sweet Vermouth

½ oz Mr. Black coffee liquor

In a lowball glass combine the gin, Campari, the Sweet Vermouth, and Mr. Black. Or you can make this in a pitcher.

Add a couple of Ice cubes or one large ice cube and stir with a spoon spinning the ice cube to stir the cocktail. The idea is to chill the mixture down and to slightly dilute it.

If you mixed this in a pitcher pour into a Low ball glass filled with more ice or one large ice cube.

Twist the orange peel over the cocktail to help release some of the oils and add to the finished cocktail.

An iconic cocktail named for Giuseppe Garibaldi, a revolutionary who played a leading role in the unification of Italy. The Campari, from Milan, represents the north, while oranges from Sicily represent the south. The key is very fresh orange juice, which creates a beautiful froth. For extra frothy juice, dry shake or blend on high for a few seconds before adding. Excellent for brunch or as an aperitif.

When we're not drinking Manhattans, we'll take an Old Pal. Usually made with rye, we prefer it with bourbon (the higher the proof, the better).

Old Pal Cocktail

dry vermouth

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Add ice and stir until shaker becomes frosty. Strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with orange twist.

Named for the Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi, who played a leading role in the unification of Italy, the classic recipe for this two-ingredient drink combines Campari, from Northern Italy, and fresh orange juice, a nod to Sicily in the south. This modern version features orange bitters and a pinch of salt, as well as an ounce of grapefruit juice. (If you want to skip grapefruit, you can also use five full ounces of orange juice.) Whether you make the classic or modern iteration, the key to the best Garibaldi is very fresh, very frothy citrus juice. For that, you’ll want freshly squeezed citrus and a firm, long, dry (without ice) shake, or, if you prefer, you can pulse the juice in a blender for a few seconds to aerate before adding to the glass.

The Garibaldi

red bitter liqueur,

grapefruit juice

flaky sea salt

Orange or grapefruit wedge

Fill a Collins or highball glass with ice, add the red bitter liqueur and the bitters.

In a shaker, without ice, add the orange and grapefruit juices, and the salt. Cover and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds. Strain the cocktail into the glass and garnish with the orange or grapefruit wedge.

Adjust the classic proportions of the gin, vermouth, and Campari in a Negroni cocktail recipe for this updated version from London’s Chiltern Firehouse.

Carpano Antica Formula vermouth

A classic negroni is the original 1:1:1 cocktail (equal parts gin, vermouth, and Campari). “But here’s the problem: Equal-parts cocktails don’t always taste so good,” argues former BA editor Julia Kramer. “Palates have evolved since these ratios were codified.” The team at Chiltern Firehouse in London, who created this negroni recipe, tweaked the ratios to make the drink more gin-forward, keeping the bitter-sweet Italian aperitivo Campari in check. Red vermouth, a.k.a. rosso or sweet vermouth, is the other key player here, so it’s worth splurging on a good bottle: We like Carpano Antica Formula for its vanilla notes and dry finish, but Punt e Mes or Cocchi Storico are good choices too.
There’s no shortage of negroni riffs out there. Most famous among them is the negroni sbagliato or a “mistaken/incorrect” negroni, which swaps gin for prosecco—think of it as the halfway point between a spritz and a negroni. There’s also the white negroni with Lillet Blanc and a pleasantly bitter French apéritif called Suze; a boozy punch version of the cocktail with gin and prosecco; and many more. For a wintry vibe, use bourbon in place of the gin, and you’ll have a boulevardier. Want a low-ABV version? Swap out the gin for soda water and the orange peel for a lemon wedge and you’ll have an Americano.
Editor’s note: This recipe was originally published in our October 2015 issue.

Stir gin, vermouth, and Campari in an ice-filled mixing glass until very cold, about 30 seconds. Strain cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer or a slotted spoon into an ice-filled rocks glass.

Using a small serrated knife, remove a 1" strip of peel from the orange (some white pith is okay); it should be stiff enough to provide some resistance when bent. Twist over drink to express oils; discard. Garnish with 3 very thin orange slices.

Summer’s most accessible cocktail is much like the season itself: easy, relaxing, refreshing, sunny, and filled with fruit and flavor.

Citrus Shandy

Aleppo-style pepper

kosher salt

4–6 12-oz. bottles chilled light beer

Easy. Relaxing. Refreshing. Sunny. Filled with fruit and flavor. Yes, that describes your ideal summer, but also the shandy, the season’s most accessible cocktail. Keep a premixed batch of fresh juice and seasoning in your fridge to pour into a glass of light beer and ice whenever the sunny vibe needs to be turned up to 11.

Vigorously stir Campari, orange juice, lime juice, Aleppo-style pepper, and salt in a large pitcher. Chill until ready to serve.

To make 1 drink, pour about 8 oz. beer into an ice-filled glasses and add Campari mixture to your liking.

Do ahead: Campari mixture can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

In Italian, "sbagliato" means "mistake." Supposedly, a bartender grabbed sparkling wine instead of gin as he was making this cocktail, resulting in this happy, delicious mistake.
