Think Negroni but with citrus freshness and grape fruitiness.

Lovely cocktail, a new favourite
I added a few frozen grapes as well.

Beautifully balanced. I added an orange zest twist. So good!

Tasty!

I only had 15ml lemon juice (due to a Jack Dempsey), so I subbed 5ml gin. To my surprise, it was still a bit sweet (is that because I used agave nectar?). After looking at the original recipe, I added another 15ml gin (total of 50ml), and ta-da!

Campari is too strong for my wife's palate, so I substituted Aperol. Also used seedless red grapes because that's what we had and served as an apéritif for a clambake. Everyone loved it!

I have found Aperol works as a sub for Campari in most cocktails in which Campari is a major player.

For something like a Jungle Bird, which uses Campari as subtle flavor component, I would just slightly reduce the amount for the Campari hater rather than sub.

How do the grapes tame the Campari so beautifully? A gorgeous drink.

I think they act on the flavor of the cocktail in a similar way to sweet vermouth, but in a fresher, more natural way.

Signore Vinzenzo Errico is a great bartender and human being. And the Enzoni a great drink! I've put it in several menus in our consultancies around the world.

i was fortunate enough to have 7 food grapes leftover and happened upon this in my wishlist so i smashed it right out. this is fucking lit i love it. might have to keep green grapes in the gaff at all times.

You might try freezing them too! They freeze very well and when shaken can cool down the cocktail just like ice does + they give their flavour!

The grapes add another dimension to Campari's bitterness. Very good.

I found it a touch sweet which also masked the Campari a tad. Dropping the syrup to 12.5ml gave the Campari more space without it dominating....which I know it easily can before your palate acclimatises

Since most cocktails, I’ve tried making using Campari have been either terrible or decent, due to my tastebuds not liking Campari as of right now, I Tried making this classic with 15ml of Campari as opposed to 30ml of Campari and this drink worked great, which overtime I’m hoping to slowly add more Campari, Until I’m capable of drinking the recommended amount of Campari, since this definitely a good Cocktail to make to try and get someone to appreciate Campari

I went through a similar thing with campari, try select. it's very similar but different enough you may find it a good substitute for campari .
