The flowers are the main supplier of lavender oil, which is how the properties are extracted from the plant. The main active ingredients in lavender are 51% linalool and 35% linalyl acetate. Linalool is a terpene alcohol that is responsible for the strong floral scent of lavender.
Campari is an apertif liqueur. Meant to stimulate appetite before a meal, itâs basically different herbs and botanicals infused into a grain-neutral spirit (i.e. vodka). There is a myriad of different apertifs; ranging in flavors such as citrus, fennel, caraway, and many others. They can be sweetish, but mostly are bitter.
Itâs a divisive one for sure â Campari itself is an acquired taste, being a deeply bitter and lurid spirit and once the reserve of dusty cocktail cabinets â but the 1:1:1 ratio of negroni leaves it open to adaptation.
