Mandarinetto and Cordial Campari!
 
Found two liquors that I LOVED, in italy. <BR>Mandarinetto <BR>and Cordial Campari. <BR>Only brought back one bottle of each. :( <BR>am having no luck locating any here in the Vermont area <BR>(not a big surprise to me!) <BR> <BR>Any help? <BR>anyone else try these?

What is the difference between Campari (which we buy all the time to mix with soda in the summer) and Cordial Campari?

Barbara Oct 1st, 2001 02:36 PM

Diane, have you tried it with tonic water? Also lovely with orange juice!

Cordial Campari. <BR>a clear, SWEET, but with a bite!liquor. <BR>It is made from lemons and raspberries. <BR>Yummy. <BR>I had a really fun time in a <BR>Roman market trying to make myself understood in my beginner Italian, that i was interested in this different Campari, <BR>an in HOW and WHAT made it differentfrom the regular Campari. <BR> <BR>It is really a yummy sipping drink. <BR>I had one every night before bed, sitting on our apt. terrace, <BR>looking over Piazza Farnese and the Palazzo. <BR>I have only a few drinks left. <BR>and I know it will not last til I return to italy in May. <BR> <BR>Mandarinetto is a orange liquor. <BR>But, it is similar to limoncello than Cointreu or Triple Sec. <BR>It too is one of those smooth liquors that slide down *much* too easily :-) <BR>Both taste really great COLD or with ice. <BR> <BR>Anyone ? <BR>Well, keep these in mind when going to Italy.Give them a try. <BR>Much tastier than Cynar. <BR>(I see them as summer drinks, but maybe just cause I had them in the summer) <BR> <BR>
