Method
Cocktail
Prep glass
Select an Old Fashioned (rocks) glass and chill it briefly by filling with ice and setting aside while you build the cocktail.
Mix base
In a mixing glass or shaker filled with ice, add 1.5 oz gin, 0.5 oz Campari, 0.5 oz sweet vermouth, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.
Stir and dilute
Stir the mixture briskly for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 revolutions) until well-chilled and slightly diluted. This ensures a smooth, balanced Old Fashioned-style texture.
Prepare serving glass
Discard the ice used to chill the serving glass and place a large ice cube (or fresh ice) into the glass.
Strain
Strain the chilled cocktail into the prepared Old Fashioned glass over the large ice cube.
Serve
Present immediately. Offer a stirrer so the drinker can adjust dilution to taste.
