This Campari Prosecco Cocktail recipe is a refreshing spritz made with the popular Italian aperitif. With just 3 ingredients and a twist of orange, this is an easy cocktail with a deliciously refreshing flavor.
You may have heard of the popular Aperol spritz, but have you had a Campari spritz? While the two Italian liqueurs have some similarities, Campari does not taste as sweet and has more of a bitter flavor.
Like the Aperol spritz and the limoncello spritz, this spritz is a deliciously bubbly drink.

Ingredients and substitutions
Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients in this recipe. You can see a complete list of ingredients and instructions in the recipe card below.
Campari - Campari is a bitter Italian liqueur often used as an aperitif or in cocktails. It has a distinctively vibrant red color and a unique flavor profile. It has notes of bitter herbs, aromatic spices, and fruit.
Prosecco - Dry Prosecco is recommended when making a spritz. But feel free to use a sparkling wine of your choice.
Club soda - Use your favorite soda water, club soda, or unflavored sparkling water. We love making our own carbonated water at home.
Orange - I like to squeeze the juice on one orange slice and use a second slice of orange to garnish the delicious drink.
Step-by-step instructions
Fill a large wine glass or old-fashioned glass with ice cubes.
Pour the Campari into the ice-filled wine glass followed by Processo and club soda. Squeeze one orange slice into the glass. Give a quick stir and garnish as desired.
Recipe tips
This spritz recipe is easily customizable. For a sweeter cocktail, reduce the Campari and use more Prosecco to cut Campari's bitterness.
