  • 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
      @TheWeePearl  9 місяців тому +2

      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.

    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?

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

    • @TheWeePearl
      @TheWeePearl  4 місяці тому

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

    • @jsteines
      @jsteines 17 днів тому

      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.
