Campari and aperol cocktails

Would you like to color this Christmas with red or orange? Asahi Breweries holds a seminar on liqueur brands "Campari" and "Aperol" at TRUNK (HOTEL) in Shibuya, Tokyo. The perfect cocktail for the upcoming party season was introduced.

Campari and Aperol are liqueurs manufactured by Campari in Milan, Italy. When you hear Campari, many people may immediately think of that unique bittersweet taste. Campari soda and Campari orange are cocktails that are familiar to izakaya. Aperol, on the other hand, is characterized by the light sweetness of orange and a refreshing aftertaste. In Italy, it is said to be a drink rooted in daily life, as if it were a "necessary item for aperitif".

Campari and Aperol are attractive not only for their friendliness but also for their vivid colors. This time, I was allowed to sample two types of cocktails, so I will introduce them in order.

First of all, "Campari tonic" which divided Campari by tonic. It is a cup that brings out the bittersweetness unique to Campari. ◎ It is light but also highly satisfying after drinking.

Next is "Negroni", which is Campari divided by gin and vermouth Rosso. It seems to be a typical classic cocktail, and its strong taste and bitterness that remains in the mouth are addictive. It's a cup for people who are used to cocktails to some extent, but if you drink it slowly on a cold night, your body will warm up!

Next is "Aperol Spritz," which is one of the typical ways to drink Aperol. It is made by adding Prosecco and soda. It's so refreshing that you'll be surprised just by taking a sip. Anyway, it has a nice sharp taste, so you will want to drink it up while warming up in the room. This refreshing feeling with little habit seems to be liked regardless of age and gender.

Lastly, I would like to introduce "Aperol Orange". Put aperol in a glass and gently pour orange juice into a glass of beautiful gradation. When you stir and drink it, it has a rich and elegant taste like mango juice. The sloppy drink seems to accelerate the tipsy mood.

Finger food that goes well with Campari and Aperol will also appear at the venue. Visitors were excited by the Christmas-colored mousse and nutty tarts. Even at a home party, you may be able to create a full mood by serving dishes in an elegant bite size, adding more color, and using slightly unusual ingredients.
