Campari Soda +
What do you do when you’re in the mood for a lighter, sparkling cocktail that’s not too sweet? Normally I’d say Campari Soda. But tonight I decided to take my Campari Soda one step further and round it out with a little orange liqueur.
This super simple cocktail took a grand total of ~30 seconds to make and the resulting cocktail was just a bit rounder and (in my opinion) more interesting than the original. This may be a “real” cocktail with a name, but I couldn’t find it. So I went ahead and named it a Campari Crush.
All in all? I call it a success!
Is this a “real” cocktail and I missed it? Let me know in the comments!
Campari Crush
This variation on the Campari Soda is just a tad sweeter, with cointreau rounding out the hard bitter edges.

I LOVE Campari! It’s so under-appreciated, and such a treat. I found this recipe and it just called out to me “yes, this is the one.” You’re right. It’s a success. I believe you are a supreme Mixologist. Going to dig around and see what other treasures are in here! 🙂
great drink. The campari soda was a tad sharp. now the crush is well rounded
I just made this but topped it up with prosecco instead of soda. Then went to the internet to find out if it was a recognised ‘thing’. Your recipe was the nearest and is delicious but I have to say the prosecco version is a winner! Cheers!
