1
Build the drink
Fill a highball glass (or an Old Fashioned/rocks glass if preferred) with ice cubes to chill the glass and drink.
2
Add spirits
Measure and pour 1 oz Campari and 1 oz sweet vermouth directly over the ice in the glass.
3
Top with soda
Gently top with about 2 oz chilled soda water. Pour slowly to preserve some effervescence and avoid over-dilution.
4
Stir gently
Using a bar spoon, give the cocktail 4–6 gentle turns to integrate the Campari, vermouth, and soda without flattening the bubbles.
5
Garnish and serve
Express the oils of an orange peel over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down over the glass and giving it a quick twist, then drop the peel into the glass as garnish. Serve immediately.
