Campari is awesome. It sucks about your whiskey, they are wonderful together.

Try it with some bubbling water?

>>5022922

I don't have any soda. What does it taste like? I've actually tried diluting spirits with water before and it's not that bad.

The tap water where I live is close in quality to storebought sparkling water, minus the bubbles of course.

I've never had it straight but I fucking love a Negroni, me. Sure there's no way to rustle up some gin?

Otherwise, yeah, just get some soda water and make do.

>>5022937

God, I wish I could get some gin right now.

A gin and tonic with a slice of lime is my favorite drink right now.

What the fuck is wrong with you, how hard can it be to try a sip?? I get that you're asking for recipes but god dammit, just try it if you want to know what it tastes like!?

>>5022942
Fuck tonic! Campari and vermouth, motherfucker! get that shit together with the gin and go to town. Tonic is a bitch. A straight bitch.

>>5022946

Okay fuck you then.

I'm trying it.

Alcohol makes me hungry.

Good thing somebody invented these.

>>5022956

HOLY FUCK THIS IS BITTER

a fish head would normally gross me out, but not when i'm drunk.

>>5022965

Jesus fucking christ, this is horrible

I diluted it by 50% fucking percent, and it's still bitter as a motherfucker

>>5022965
That's the chinin brah. Helps against malaria though.

>>5022980

How can I kill this bitterness? I have cinnamon, cugar, a bunch of dry ingredients.

I don't have much to dilute it with.

>>5022906
Mix with orange huice

>>5022990
campari is usually added to cocktails, not their main ingredient.
You could mix it with water and dump a shitload of sugar in it.

>>5022999

Gonna try it.

I'm eating a shitload of chocolate to try and kill the taste after every sip. I can't deal.

I really like Campari. Definitely an acquired taste.

I always have a bottle of campari in the fridge. I mix it with some club soda and a bit of ice.

>>5022990
Eat sour skittles until your taste buds are fucked up for the rest of the day and bitterness rolls off your back

>>5023008

Now it tastes like bitter orange juice.

I can deal.

>>5023013
I absolutely LOVE Campari straight, chilled or over ice.

A great cocktail of campari is to shake it till it has frothed, served over crushed ice.


What is odd is that the (OP) has Campari but has never tried it?

>>5023023

aight shit.

I'll be better prepared next time. I'll go shopping for cocktail ingredients, and even if I don't drink this shit ASAP, it's not like it will go bad.

>>5023029

It was a gift.
It's been sitting besides my bottle of Grand Marnier (also untested) for a while now.

I'm not big on drinking, but it's been a tough week.

>>5023050
Grand Marnier and Campari are both widely considered mixing spirits... though the GM would probably have been the better choice to drink pure.

>>5023050
Go and drink the Grand Marnier, it's like a liquid Orange candy.

Save the Campari for being Classy.

>>5023059
>>5023067

Fuck, okay.

Thanks for the advice, bros.

>>5023081
If you can still see straight, let us know how the GM goes to your taste.

Sugar really doesn't want to mix with this shit.
I'm so fucking bad at this jesus,

>>5023091

I'm still debating if I should crack the seal or not.
I've already poured a tall glass of campari and I'm trying to sweeten it.

>>5023100
At this alc percentage shit doesnt go bad for years. Also I've just got an idea so simple I feel dumb not thinking about it before: Mix the GM with the campari. Should not be too bad.

>>5023109

Holy fuck, what an idea.
Should I sweeten it with sugar?

>>5023113
Adding solid sugar won't do shit when the liquid is at room temperature, bro. To sweeten something based on water, you need to heat it up considerable. It won't do shit because the sugar won't dissolve. The GM is already sweetened so it'll mix.

>>5023100
No. Do not sweeten the Campari. It's sweet enough. Drink over ice. If you have soda water so much the better. Sugar and alcohol together just means a worse hangover tomorrow.

Open several tabs on your browser, dick around on the internet and drink the Campari slowly. Piss before going to bed.

>>5023119

motherfuck, I'm not dicking around with the stove at this level

>>5023125

TOO LATE. I've already poured a hefty amount of sugar into this tall ass glass. And what the fuck do you mean "it's sweet enough". Campari is bitter as a motherfucker.

>>5023130
>motherfuck, I'm not dicking around with the stove at this level

That's fine, I'm just saying, it's not going to make it sweet. All the sugar you put in just going to settle at the bottom of the glass p much.

>>5023144

nigga that's why I have this teaspoon in it and I keep stirring it.

I still ahve this christmas brew beer I'm drinking while I'm preparing the beast of drinks.

>>5023130
>Campari is bitter as a motherfucker.
It's still loaded with sugar, dumfuck. It's called "bitters" for a reason.

>>5023153

It's called a bitter cause it's bitter as fuck.

>>5023130
Sugar mixed into a spirit such as Campari is going to make you HORRIBLY ill.

Stop.
FULL STOP.

2 or 3 fingers of Campari enough to be had for an entire evening.
How much have you poured, considering it's like $30 for a bottle?

At this point, throw what you've poured and doctored down the drain.

Drink some clean ice water.

Then try the Grand Marnier.

Any opened bottle of spirits will keep for YEARS even at room temp as long as properly capped. So save the Camari for when you think you have a taste for it.

>>5023153
Relax... As someone only occasionally drinking campari-o I get OPs aversion trying it pure.
If you have any fruitjuices OP try mixing them, or the GM (that will be high on alcohol but that's what you want I assume)

>>5023155
Pussy. It's not that bitter. Just drink it like a man and stfu.

>>5023157

I've poured about 1 or 2 fingers.

But, you seem serious enough to take advice from. Glad to have people looking out for me.

Thanks man.

>>5023153

I just looked it up.

Campari actually has no sugar in it.

I might be wrong though, I'm doing research absolutely shitfaced, but it looks legit as shit.

>>5023183
It doesn't matter. I'm drunk, too. Don't care about facts. Just trying to steer you away from the alcohol + sugar combination, which is bad.

>>5023195
>alcohol + sugar combination, which is bad.

Commendable public service. Any sugary mixer is a guaranteed hangover.

>>5023198
Doing my best while drinking straight aged rum and beer.

>>5023198
>>5023195

I will dilute the next batch with just ice cold water.

or GM, like one anon suggested. It seems like too much.

>>5023183
Since we're on the subject I didn't know of any cocktails that blended both Campari and Grand Mernier.

Seems there is.

A Campari Collins.

- 1 ½ parts Campari
- ½ part Grand Marnier
- 1 part sweetened lemon juice (1 part simple syrup, 1 part lemon juice)
- 1 parte soda

Preparation

Stir all the ingredients together without ice, then pour into a juice glass with ice. Add the soda and garnish with a slice of orange.
I cannot quite imagine the taste... :/

>>5023209

or I will start doing shots of this 89.9% absinthe I have.

sounds like a dumb idea though

>>5023213

I can feel a bitter orange with a kick to it on the tip of my tongue by reading that.

It feels like a drink with sass to it, fo sho, but with a tange of mystery

I have no fucking idea what I'm typing out

>>5023215
Go to sleep anon-kun, you're drunk.

>>5023228
No man.

I've still got fight in me

>>5023198
>rum and coke

>>5023233
If you have absinth, gran marniae and beer why are you trying to force down campari anyway?

mix the campari with something sour op. there is some kind of vodo about how a sour and a bitter together tastes less bitter because SCIENCE or something. campari is an acquired taste tho, I take one part campari, few shakes of Angostura, three parts club soda and half a sweet lime on ice in the summer, damn refreshing in the heat but fuck iced drinks in the winter. warm campari sounds horrible
