Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Build the cocktail

    Fill a rocks glass (old-fashioned glass) about three-quarters full with ice. Pour in 1 oz Campari and 1 oz sweet (rosso) vermouth over the ice.

  2. 2

    Top with soda

    Gently top the mixture with approximately 2 oz (about 60 ml) chilled soda water. Pour slowly to preserve some effervescence and avoid over-diluting.

  3. 3

    Stir gently

    Using a bar spoon, give the drink 2–3 gentle turns to combine Campari, vermouth, and soda without flattening the carbonation.

  4. 4

    Garnish and finish

    Express the oils of an orange twist over the glass by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a quick pinch, then rub the rim with the peel and drop it (or place a thin orange slice) into the drink. Serve immediately.
