Cocktail
Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Choose an Old Fashioned/rocks glass. Fill it with large ice cubes (or one large cube) to chill the glass and slow dilution.
Measure and pour spirits
Measure 1 oz Campari and 1 oz sweet (rosso) vermouth and pour them into the prepared rocks glass over the ice.
Top with soda
Gently top with about 2 oz chilled soda water. Pour slowly so the carbonation remains lively without overflowing.
Stir
Using a bar spoon, stir the drink gently 6–8 times to integrate the Campari, vermouth, and soda while keeping the drink slightly effervescent.
Garnish and finish
Express an orange peel over the surface by holding the peel skin-side down and giving it a quick twist to spray oils onto the drink. Rub the peel around the glass rim, then drop it into the cocktail as garnish.
Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
