In a bowl, mix Campari and simple syrup. Place gelatin in a small metal bowl or 1-cup metal measuring cup and pour ¼ cup Campari mixture over it to soften it. When gelatin is soft, place bowl or cup in a shallow pan with simmering water below rim of bowl or cup. Simmer until gelatin mixture liquefies. Slowly whisk liquid gelatin into rest of Campari mixture. Stir in sparkling water.
