Campari Float Highball
Campari leads the first sip.
It’s not instant love — but it grows on you.
A tall, restrained highball that leads with bitterness and takes its time to open up.
Campari floats on top, setting the tone before giving way to lime, sweetness, and a clean rum base underneath.
This isn’t love at first sight or first sip — but it’s the kind of drink that quietly pulls you back in.
Slow. Bitter. Addictive.
