MAIN INGREDIENTS
Campari Soda or Campari Seltz, as it is known in Italy, is a simple and refreshing combination of Campari and soda water that is mostly enjoyed as an aperitif. The ratio is usually 1 part Campari to 3 parts soda. To prepare it, Campari is added first and is then topped with soda—the drink should have a frothy top.
This traditional spritz is usually served in a stemmed or an old-fashioned glass, and it can be garnished with an orange slice. The drink was invented in 1915 by Davide Campari at his Camparino bar in Milan. The combination became a signature drink at the bar, and it soon caught on elsewhere.
MAIN INGREDIENTS
Negroni is a cocktail made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. Although its origin is unclear, it is believed that this cocktail was invented in Florence in 1919 by Count Camillo Negroni, who wanted to improve his favorite drink - the Americano - by replacing soda with gin.
The cocktail was so popular that the Count started to produce its ready-made version in a distillery. Due to its bitterness, Negroni is considered an apéritif, and it is typically served on the rocks in an old-fashioned glass with an orange wheel garnish.

MAIN INGREDIENTS
Despite its name, Americano is an Italian cocktail made with a splash of club soda and equal parts Campari and sweet red vermouth. Campari and vermouth are poured over ice in a glass, and the whole thing is topped with soda water, then garnished with a lemon twist or an orange slice.
It is believed that the first Americano was served at Gaspare Campari’s bar in the 1860s in Milan. Originally, it was named Milano-Torino, referring to the fact that its key ingredients are from Milan (Campari) and Torino (sweet vermouth).
