Method

Cocktail

1

Chill glass

Place a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer or fill with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

2

Combine ingredients

In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add 3 oz soju, 1 oz Campari, 1 oz sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes orange bitters. If you prefer a slightly sweeter, rounder drink, add 1/4 teaspoon simple syrup (optional).

3

Add ice

Add about 6 large ice cubes to the mixing glass (enough to chill and dilute properly).

4

Stir

Stir the mixture for 20–30 seconds with a bar spoon until well chilled and slightly diluted (the mixing glass should frost lightly). Stirring rather than shaking keeps the texture silky and preserves clarity.

5

Prepare glass

Dump the ice or remove the glass from the freezer. If using a rocks glass, you can add one large ice cube; for a coupe serve without ice.

6

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or over the large ice cube in the rocks glass using a fine mesh strainer or Hawthorne/ julep strainer to catch small shards.

Garnish & Finish

7

Express the orange twist over the surface of the cocktail by holding it skin-side down and giving it a firm pinch to release oils, then rub the rim with the twist and drop it into the drink as garnish.

8

Serve immediately. The cocktail yields a balanced bittersweet profile with lower ABV thanks to soju, making it approachable and bright.
