1
Chill the Glass
Start by chilling your cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing glass, combine 1 cup of rye whiskey or bourbon, 1 cup of sweet vermouth, and 1 cup of Campari. Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes.
3
Stir the Cocktail
Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture for about 30 seconds until well chilled and properly diluted.
4
Prepare the Glass
Empty the ice water from your chilled cocktail glass.
5
Strain the Cocktail
Using a strainer, pour the mixed cocktail into the chilled glass, ensuring that no ice cubes make it into the final drink.
6
Garnish the Drink
Twist an orange peel over the drink to release its oils and then place it in the glass as a garnish.
