Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Build the drink

Fill a rocks glass (old-fashioned glass) about three-quarters full with cubed ice.

2

Add bitters and vermouth

Pour 1 oz Campari over the ice, then add 1 oz sweet vermouth.

3

Top with soda

Gently top with about 2 oz chilled soda water. Pour slowly over the back of a spoon if you want to preserve a slight layering; otherwise pour directly.

4

Stir

Give the drink 1 gentle, 5–8 second stir with a bar spoon to integrate without over-diluting.

5

Garnish and serve

Express the oils of an orange twist over the glass or place an orange slice on the rim as a garnish. Serve immediately.
