What does Compari taste like?

Taste of Campari A glass of Campari smells bitter in the way that orange rinds and bitter greens smell. Tasting it, however, reveals much more. The bitterness is still strong, at the start and again at the finish, but there are notes of sweet cherry and orange, and a spicy edge reminiscent of cinnamon.

Is a Negroni a man's drink?

This is a real bartenders' drink. Many will say it is a man's drink but I think there is something very cool (not that alcohol makes you cool, obviously) and egalitarian in a girl ordering a 'men's drink'. If you do want to soften it up a bit, just mix your Negroni up with a glass of Champagne or Cava.

What Flavour is aperol?

What is a Togroni?
