Campari sub for orange bitters?

[pto]

Where I live I'm currently unable to find orange bitters. Can I substiute Campari?

It won't be the same, but it might be good. Campari will add some sweetness.  One way to find out.

Hi pto! Campari is bitter and tastes of oranges so will do the job in that respect, but it's also quite sweet and will add sugar to your drink.

 

It's easy to make bitters so that might be your best plan. The minimum you need for the recipe is a bitter ingredient, the alcohol and the flavouring, if sourcing is difficult.

Waaahey! Found a source for both orange bitters and Peychauds.
