Campari Tequila Shots

These tequila Campari shots are bright, fun, and just bitter enough to feel grown-up. Tequila, sweet pineapple, and a float of Campari come together in one playful, pretty shot that Negroni lovers will adore.

Five red-orange cocktails in textured glasses, each garnished with a slice of pineapple, are arranged on a black tray with liquor bottles and a whole pineapple in the background.

These tequila Campari shots are my idea of a good time when friends come over, and I want to pour something a little playful. They're bright, fun, and just bitter enough to feel grown-up, the kind of shot that's a step above the usual. If you love a Negroni, these were made for you.

The flavor is all about that classic bittersweet balance. Tequila and sweet pineapple juice are shaken together until cold, then a float of Campari slowly sinks in on top, mixing just enough to soften its signature bitterness. You get bitter and sweet, sharp and smooth, all in one quick sip. And because the Campari only partly blends in, each shot takes on a pretty layered look that goes from sunny pineapple to deep ruby red.

The best part is how easy they are to pull off. A quick shake, a pour into shot glasses, and a splash of Campari on top, and you've got a round of tequila Campari shots ready to hand out, no fuss required.
