How I Made Campari From Scratch Recipe

In this video I'm going to show you how I made Campari from scratch. With this DIY homemade Campari recipe you can fine tune your negronis like a pro. Though my version uses the traditional Italian ingredient of cochineal bugs, there's nothing buggy about it. It maintains that bitter, crisp and slightly sweet flavor and pairs beautifully with the classic negroni ingredients and other cocktail favorites.
*Please do your own research when sourcing these ingredients to make sure you can safely use and consume.*

Many people mistake cochineal for red dye 40, believing that it is carcinogenic. Nope...just ground up mealy bugs that feed on cacti.

I’ve been thinking about separating the infusions for certain ingredients in my amari and aperitivi recipes exactly for the reason you said. Maybe even go a step further and use different ABV grain spirit for specific ingredients. The “throw everything in a jar” method is easy, but I can tell that the bittering ingredients get over-extracted and you lose subtler hints and freshness of others. Looking forward to giving this recipe a try!

@TheWeePearl 9 ай бұрын

I’ve thought about that as well and am thinking of trying it for a new recipe I am developing. It’s definitely not as simple, but I’ve noticed after time the spirits lose their balance.

Thanks for sharing your research and process with everyone! I want to try making it, but also kind of think I'll spend more on ingredients than on a bottle of Campari! 😂 Have you ever tried recreating Amer Picon, given it's all but impossible to get in the US?

Lol. Yes. Sourcing the ingredients is quite expensive! However, it’s a fun project if you have the time and disposable income 😂

I work in a bar with a vision for having as much homemade product as possible, would this realisticly be worth the price difference to Campari? cheaper or more expensive

Where did you source the red dye bugs that are food safe?

@TheWeePearl 4 ай бұрын

I found them on Amazon. They do not specify being food safe. They are organic cochineal beetles

@jsteines 19 күн бұрын

I did the recipe exactly, but used red beet powder in lieu of bugs (just something about bugs)… worked well, but I’m noticing the color is fading over time. I’m just going to do 500ml batches so I drink it before the color fades.
