Campari

Campari is an Italian liqueur with an intense red color and a distinctive flavor that combines bitter and sweet notes. It is made from a maceration of aromatic herbs, fruits, and spices in alcohol and water, which gives it its unique and refreshing profile. It is a fundamental ingredient in mixology and is frequently used in recipes that require a bitter and aromatic touch, such as the famous Negroni or the Americano.

Campari has its origins in Italy, specifically in Milan, where it was created in 1860 by Gaspare Campari. Since then, its popularity has spread throughout the world, making it an essential component in both classic and contemporary drinks.

Among its properties, its ability to stimulate the appetite stands out, making it ideal for aperitifs. Furthermore, its natural bitter flavor can balance dishes and cocktails with sweet or acidic profiles, adding complexity to culinary preparations.

Regarding synonyms in Spanish from Latin America, there are no direct terms that replace Campari, as it is a registered trademark and a specific product. However, the term "bitter liqueur" or "bitter aperitif" can be used to describe similar products or to contextualize its use in recipes.
