What is it?

Campari is an alcoholic aperitif obtained from the infusion of bitter herbs, aromatic plants and fruit in alcohol and water. I usually just drink Campari and orange juice with ice, but sometimes Campari, Cinzano Rosso (a red "wine"), and gin. Its a very Italian drink, so not so big in the US, I guess.

I had some while in Italy, a small amount in a little triangular-shaped bottle.  I was inspired by ads I had seen in Smithsonian.  I was/am unaware it is to be mixed.  By itself it was horrible!

I've seen that stuff on the shelves at the store.  I didn't know what it was, nor have I ever seen anybody drink it or order it.

What's it taste like?

I saw young guys drinking it in Italy, but I never tried it.  Asked a bartender back home how it tasted. He said it's nasty shit.  Took his word for it.

Interesting... it is actually a classic bitter aperitif... not something that the young crowd would really enjoy... I guess the bartender who said it tasted like shit must have been a total moron,he cant say that to a customer, he cant push his opinion in an establishment where the goal is to sell you a drink. Oh yeah, junker, I think you got the camparisoda mixed drink. That's never a good idea. That's one of those overpriced, overhyped premixed things. Campari and soda is a hardcore drink, sort of like drinking gin on the rocks (or vodka on the rocks, although I happen to love that). Campari and orange juice is just a classic refreshing drink.

I'll drink anything to get drunk.  That includes warm Natty light... etc.

ETA - That doesn't include homeless person drinks, like rubbing alcohol and such.

I tried it several times back in the day and liked it. But it's not my regular drink.

Of course he can. I was gonna buy a drink whether it was a gin & tonic or a Campari.  I might as well enjoy the beverage, he was doing right by me.
