sous-vide-campari

Campari is a bitter Italian liqueur with its familiar red color. Many people find Campari too bitter to drink. In this recipe, we reduce the bitterness with a sous-vide infusion of rosemary and honey.

Ingredients

  • 500 ml Campari
  • 2 sprigs of rosemary
  • 2 oranges
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • coin (optional)

Preparation

Preparation

Heat the water to 80 degrees Celsius. Peel the oranges and place them in a sous vide bag. Avoid the white part, as it is bitter and the Campari is already very bitter.

Infusion

Fill the bag with Campari and add two rosemary stalks, the juice of two oranges, and the honey. For an even fresher flavor, add a little mint. Seal the vacuum bag and place it in a water bath.

In the water bath

Leave the bag in a water bath at 80 degrees Celsius for 2 to 2.5 hours. Then carefully remove the bag from the water and let it cool. Cut open one side of the bag and strain the mixture. You can store the Campari in a bottle or consume it immediately.

Serve

Serve the Campari over ice. Still find the Campari too bitter? You can add it to a Negroni or mix it with orange juice.

That sounds really awesome. I have used an ISI whip in the past to infuse flavors into liquors but never thought about using sous vide.
Ok, ISI is faster but having to use two or three cartridges every time (I have a quart canister) takes a lot for a simple process.
Thanks for the tip. I just discovered your site but I’ll be back for the sous vide and the smoking gun recipes and tips!
