Experience of 007 Travelers: At home

“Bond slid on to the bar stool next to her, turning it slightly so that he had a
clear view of anyone coming through the big glass doors at the front. ‘What will
you drink?”
“Oh no, tonight’s on me. In honour of your saving my honour, James.”
Again her hand lightly brushed his arm, and he felt the same electricity. Bond
capitulated.
“I know we’re in Ticino, where they think grappa is good liquor. Still, I’ll
stick to the comic drinks. A Campari soda, if I may.”

John Gardner: “Nobody Lives Forever” (1986)

“Ten minutes later, they were outside a bar with parasols, wrought-iron tables and haughty-looking waiters in white aprons; the sort of place that could only exist in the south of France. Griffith had made a telephone call before he had sat down, running a background check on Bond while Bond ordered the drinks: a Campari for himself and, for Griffith, a cold beer.”

Anthony Horowitz: “Forever and a Day” (2018)

Campari is an Italian alcoholic liqueur, considered an apéritif (20.5%, 21%, 24%, 25%, or 28.5% ABV, depending on the country where it is sold), of the amaro variety, obtained from the infusion of herbs and fruit (including chinotto and cascarilla) in alcohol and water. It is a type of bitters, characterised by its dark red colour. It is produced by the Davide Campari Group, a multinational company based in Italy.
