They\u2019re both bittersweet Italian aperitifs, they\u2019re both associated with pre-dinner drinking culture, and they\u2019re even owned by the same parent company today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">So, <strong>is Aperol the same as Campari?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The surprising answer: Nope! While they belong to the same general family and can sometimes play similar roles in cocktails, Aperol and Campari are distinctly different in flavor, alcohol content, color, intensity, and history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">When it comes to <strong>Aperol vs. Campari<\/strong>, I tend to think of Aperol as the softer, more citrus-forward option and Campari as its bolder, more bitter counterpart. That difference matters quite a bit once you start mixing with them. Personally, I much prefer Aperol, as it\u2019s definitely less aggressive in its flavor profile. <em>But<\/em> that said, Campari sure has it\u2019s place, and a Negroni with Aperol hits a bit different than the original.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">So let\u2019s compare the two Italian aperitifs, including what they taste like, where they come from, their alcohol content, and whether you can actually substitute Aperol for Campari and vice versa.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69420\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69420\" class=\"wp-image-69420\" alt=\"a line of wine glasses full of Aperol Spritz\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/federica-ariemma-cSWRV1EXm5I-unsplash-300x200.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69420\" class=\"wp-image-69420\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/federica-ariemma-cSWRV1EXm5I-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"a line of wine glasses full of Aperol Spritz\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-69420\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Federica Ariemma via www.unsplash.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Aperol vs. Campari at a Glance<\/li>\n<li>How to Use Aperol and Campari<\/li>\n<li>History of Aperol and Campari<\/li>\n<li>Aperol vs. Campari: Ingredients and Flavor<\/li>\n<li>Aperol vs. Campari Alcohol Content<\/li>\n<li>Can You Substitute Aperol for Campari?<\/li>\n<li>Variations and Cocktails to Try<\/li>\n<li>Which One Should You Choose?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_69427\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69427\" class=\"wp-image-69427\" alt=\"2 wine glasses of orange cocktails\" width=\"500\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/julia-solonina-YCj4q9AArtk-unsplash-scaled-e1787174260178-300x300.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69427\" class=\"wp-image-69427\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/julia-solonina-YCj4q9AArtk-unsplash-scaled-e1787174260178-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"2 wine glasses of orange cocktails\" width=\"500\" height=\"499\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-69427\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Julia Solonina via www.unsplash.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Aperol vs. Campari at a Glance<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Aperol and Campari have enough in common that the confusion between them makes total sense.

Campari<\/strong> presented as a battle between nearly identical ingredients, they\u2019re really two different approaches to the Italian aperitivo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Aperol is typically more approachable if you\u2019re new to bitter flavors, while Campari brings significantly more bitterness and alcoholic strength. Aperol itself describes its flavor as citrus-led and slightly floral, with orange zest and a touch of vanilla, while describing Campari as comparatively more bitter.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69433\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69433\" class=\"wp-image-69433\" alt=\"a hand pour cocktails with tea lights and oranges with a Campari bottle in the background\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rinck-content-studio-EbScFvDFhx0-unsplash-300x200.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69433\" class=\"wp-image-69433\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rinck-content-studio-EbScFvDFhx0-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"a hand pour cocktails with tea lights and oranges with a Campari bottle in the background\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-69433\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Rick Content Studio via www.unsplash.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>How to Use Aperol and Campari<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Both Aperol and Campari belong naturally in the world of <strong>aperitivo<\/strong>, the Italian tradition of enjoying a drink\u2014often alongside small bites\u2014before a meal.

Its lower proof and citrus-forward character make it a natural partner for <strong>sparkling wine, soda water, citrus, and lighter spirits<\/strong>. If I want a placebo drink at night, for instance, I\u2019ll add a splash of Aperol to a flavored seltzer; it\u2019s a great, very low-ABV cocktail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Campari can stand up to much stronger flavors. It\u2019s at home alongside gin and <strong>sweet vermouth in a Negroni, bourbon or rye in a Boulevardier, or simply soda water for a refreshing highball<\/strong>. You may want to adjust the amount you use if you\u2019re adding some to a sparkling water for your own, more bitter version of an amaro-soda spritz like what I described above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Neither one is better; they\u2019re just different!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69431\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69431\" class=\"wp-image-69431\" alt=\"a top-down photo of 3 amari cocktails with beautiful garnishes like rosemary and blood orange slices\" width=\"500\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/olena-bohovyk-JjGLEN7T8xI-unsplash-scaled-e1787173005695-289x300.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69431\" class=\"wp-image-69431\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/olena-bohovyk-JjGLEN7T8xI-unsplash-scaled-e1787173005695-289x300.jpg\" alt=\"a top-down photo of 3 amari cocktails with beautiful garnishes like rosemary and blood orange slices\" width=\"500\" height=\"520\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-69431\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Olena Bohovyk via www.unsplash.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>History of Aperol and Campari<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Campari is the elder of the two by nearly 60 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campari.com\/our-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Gaspare Campari created his namesake bitter in <strong>1860<\/strong><\/a>. The brand became closely associated with Milan, where Gaspare eventually operated Caff\u00e8 Campari in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. In 1915, his son Davide opened Camparino in the Galleria, further connecting Campari with Milanese aperitivo culture. The most famous cocktails with Campari are the Negroni and the Americano (not to be confused with the coffee drink).<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aperol.com\/en-us\/our-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Aperol came along in <strong>1919<\/strong><\/a>, created by brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri in Padua after seven years of experimentation. It subsequently became particularly popular around Padua and Venice. Today, it\u2019s best known for the Aperol Spritz, of course.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The familiar Aperol Spritz formula emerged in the 1950s and eventually helped turn the orange aperitif into an international symbol of Italian-style social drinking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Although their stories began separately, today both brands sit within the Campari Group portfolio. As I mentioned, their shared ownership doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re the same product, though, and their individual recipes remain distinct.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69439\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69439\" class=\"wp-image-69439\" alt=\"bottles of Campari and Aperol with a glass of Campari and champagne with an orange wedge\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/abaraboveteam_a_realistic_food_blog_magazine_photograph_of_a__bc99466e-d5a6-4655-a7ee-38a3f5739bbc_0-300x300.png\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69439\" class=\"wp-image-69439\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/abaraboveteam_a_realistic_food_blog_magazine_photograph_of_a__bc99466e-d5a6-4655-a7ee-38a3f5739bbc_0-300x300.png\" alt=\"bottles of Campari and Aperol with a glass of Campari and champagne with an orange wedge\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-69439\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Copyright A Bar Above, generated with AI<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Aperol vs. Campari: Ingredients and Flavor<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is where the <strong>Campari vs. Aperol<\/strong> comparison becomes much more interesting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Both recipes are proprietary, so we can\u2019t simply compare complete ingredient lists.

The stronger bitter backbone is precisely why Campari works so well in drinks containing other flavorful ingredients, meaning it doesn\u2019t disappear very easily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Compared directly with Aperol, Campari generally tastes <strong>less sweet and more intensely bitter. <\/strong>And that difference isn\u2019t subtle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you make two otherwise identical drinks, one with Aperol and one with Campari, you\u2019re likely to notice a significant shift in the balance of the cocktail.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69422\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69422\" class=\"wp-image-69422\" alt=\"a hand making a cocktail with Aperol in a wine glass with ice, a bottle of amaro next to it\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gabriella-clare-marino-NrKLy6hF4ho-unsplash-scaled-e1787173392912-300x300.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69422\" class=\"wp-image-69422\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/gabriella-clare-marino-NrKLy6hF4ho-unsplash-scaled-e1787173392912-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"a hand making a cocktail with Aperol in a wine glass with ice, a bottle of amaro next to it\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-69422\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Gabriella Clare Marino via www.unsplash.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Is Aperol Sweeter Than Campari?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Yes, at least perceptually because of the other ingredients and balance of everything together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Aperol\u2019s bright citrus, vanilla notes, gentler bitterness, and lower alcoholic intensity create a softer and sweeter overall impression. Campari\u2019s stronger bitter character makes it taste considerably drier and more aggressive by comparison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is one of the most important things to consider when deciding which bottle belongs in your cocktail.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69440\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69440\" class=\"wp-image-69440\" alt=\"a table set with cocktails and oranges, with a Campari bottle and an Aperol bottle\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/abaraboveteam_a_realistic_food_blog_magazine_photograph_of_a__bc99466e-d5a6-4655-a7ee-38a3f5739bbc_3-300x300.png\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69440\" class=\"wp-image-69440\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/abaraboveteam_a_realistic_food_blog_magazine_photograph_of_a__bc99466e-d5a6-4655-a7ee-38a3f5739bbc_3-300x300.png\" alt=\"a table set with cocktails and oranges, with a Campari bottle and an Aperol bottle\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-69440\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Copyright A Bar Above, generated with AI<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Aperol vs. Campari Alcohol Content<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Another major difference between Aperol and Campari is their strength.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In the United States, <strong>Aperol is 11% ABV<\/strong>. Aperol\u2019s own U.S. materials list Campari at <strong>25% ABV<\/strong>, making Campari more than twice the alcoholic volume. That gap affects more than how strong the final drink is. But remember that a spirit like whiskey, vodka, or gin is generally 35-40%, so both amari are still lower in ABV than a traditional liquor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Alcohol carries aroma and flavor, so Campari\u2019s higher proof contributes to its bigger presence in a cocktail. Aperol, meanwhile, is particularly well suited to lower-ABV drinks and tall, sparkling drinks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Of course, the alcohol content of the <em>finished cocktail<\/em> depends on every ingredient and the proportions used. An Aperol Spritz isn\u2019t automatically a low-alcohol drink simply because Aperol itself has a lower ABV, so it\u2019s always worth keeping the entire recipe and serving size in mind.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69432\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69432\" class=\"wp-image-69432\" alt=\"top-down photo of a very red cocktail with an orange twist, made with Campari liqueur \" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/riccardo-andolfo-DtKrV2K5vq8-unsplash-300x300.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69432\" class=\"wp-image-69432\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/riccardo-andolfo-DtKrV2K5vq8-unsplash-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"top-down photo of a very red cocktail with an orange twist, made with Campari liqueur \" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-69432\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Riccardo Andolfo via www.unsplash.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Can You Substitute Aperol for Campari?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Technically, yes.

It\u2019s simply a different cocktail experience and definitely depends on your own taste buds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">When we\u2019re developing or testing recipes, Chris is always thinking about balance rather than simply whether two ingredients occupy the same category. That\u2019s a useful approach at home, too: When you substitute one bitter aperitif for another, taste the whole drink and adjust accordingly.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_59764\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59764\" class=\"wp-image-59764 size-full\" alt=\"Paper Plane surrounded by bar tools and ingredients\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4H7A1323-scaled-e1709597269813.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59764\" class=\"wp-image-59764 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/4H7A1323-scaled-e1709597269813.jpg\" alt=\"Paper Plane surrounded by bar tools and ingredients\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-59764\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Copyright A Bar Above<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Variations and Cocktails to Try<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">But don\u2019t take my word at face value. I think it\u2019s pretty obvious I have a little bias here! Honestly, the easiest way to understand the difference between Aperol and Campari is to actually just taste them one after the other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Try a small amount of each on its own first. Then add soda water and taste again. Dilution can reveal aromas and flavors that are harder to identify when you\u2019re concentrating exclusively on the bitterness.

Definitely not.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">As we\u2019ve talked about, they\u2019re related stylistically: Both are Italian bittersweet aperitifs with deep ties to aperitivo culture. But their similarities shouldn\u2019t overshadow what makes each bottle distinctive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Aperol is bright orange, citrus-forward, gently bittersweet, and relatively low in alcohol at 11% ABV. Campari is deep red, significantly more bitter and intense, and substantially higher in alcohol\u2013 although still low compared to spirits like vodka or rum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you enjoy lighter, fruitier, and less bitter cocktails, start with Aperol. If you love assertive bitterness and classics like the Negroni, Campari deserves a permanent place on your bar cart. And if you like both? Even better. They\u2019re different enough that I don\u2019t consider owning both redundant.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_69418\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69418\" class=\"wp-image-69418\" alt=\"a hand holding a white wine glass full of aperitivo amaro with ice\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dogu-tuncer-1jwccaJ-jbI-unsplash-scaled-e1787259620491-300x300.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69418\" class=\"wp-image-69418\" src=\"https:\/\/abarabove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dogu-tuncer-1jwccaJ-jbI-unsplash-scaled-e1787259620491-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"a hand holding a white wine glass full of aperitivo amaro with ice\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-69418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Dogu Tuncer via www.unsplash.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Learning the distinction between <strong>Aperol vs. Campari<\/strong> is also a great example of why understanding ingredients matters in mixology.
