THE STORY OF CAMPARI Born in Milan Gaspare Campari began serving cocktails made with his original-recipe spirit at Milan’s Caffè Campari in 1867. Young Milanese flocked here to enjoy these intriguing bittersweet drinks and later to the Camparino bar opened by Gaspare’s son Davide in 1915. Under Davide’s direction, the global popularity of CAMPARI soared. Not least because he understood the power of design and creativity in building brand recognition, and engaged with leading designers, illustrators and filmmakers to bring the vibrant red drink to life. By the mid-1900s, CAMPARI had become indelibly linked to Milan’s peerless aperitivo culture and synonymous with avant-garde creativity and thinking. Today, we invite you to raise a glass to the art and influence of an aperitivo icon with the Little Red Book of Classic CAMPARI Serves & Negroni Twists. Cin cin! 3

1972
SBAGLIATO AKA the Wrong Negroni
Ingredients & Method
The Sbagliato was born in Milan in 1972 on a busy night at Bar Basso. The owner Mirko Stocchetto was about to mix a classic Negroni for a regular client, but following the CAMPARI and vermouth he accidentally reached out for a bottle of sparkling wine instead of the usual gin. The customer and Mirko tried the new recipe and it was love at first sip.
