How Long Is Campari Good After It's Opened?

Campari Can Last for Years Once opened, Campari can last for several years. The high alcohol content (around 20-28%) acts as a preservative, so it doesn’t spoil quickly. However, its flavor may gradually change over time.

Store It Properly to Extend Its Shelf Life To keep your Campari fresh for as long as possible, store it in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight and heat. Keeping it sealed tightly in its original bottle will prevent oxidation and preserve its quality.

Watch for Changes in Flavor Though Campari doesn’t technically "expire," the flavor may lose its sharpness or become less vibrant after being opened for several years. If you notice changes in taste, it’s still safe to drink but may not be at its best.

Refrigeration Isn't Necessary Unlike some drinks, Campari does not need to be refrigerated once opened. As long as it’s kept in a cool, dry area and out of direct sunlight, it will remain stable for a long time.

A Slight Sediment or Cloudiness Is Normal If you see any slight cloudiness or sediment in your Campari after being opened, this is normal and does not indicate spoilage. It's a natural part of the aging process for certain liqueurs.

Use It Within 3-5 Years for Optimal Taste For the best flavor experience, it’s recommended to consume Campari within 3-5 years of opening. This window allows you to enjoy its vibrant, bitter taste before it starts to degrade.

Check for Off-Smells or Tastes If your Campari develops an unusual smell, taste, or a noticeable change in appearance, it’s a good idea to discard it. While unlikely, improper storage or contamination could cause it to go bad.
