Method
Cocktail
- 1

Using a jigger, measure 1 oz Bombay Sapphire gin, 1 oz Campari, and 1 oz Carpano Antica sweet vermouth and pour them into a mixing glass.

Prepare glass
If you chilled the glass with ice and water, dump the water and any melting ice. Add one large clear ice cube or 2–3 fresh large ice cubes to the old fashioned glass.
- 5
Strain
Strain the mixed cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared old fashioned glass over the fresh ice.

Garnish
Take an orange peel about 1.5–2 inches long. Express the oils by holding the peel between your thumb and forefinger, skin side toward the drink, and give it a firm twist over the glass to release the citrus oils. Rub the peel along the rim of the glass, then drop or neatly place it in the drink as a garnish.

Serve
Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the balance of bitter Campari, botanical gin, and rich sweet vermouth.

If you prefer a slightly different style: build the drink directly in the old fashioned glass by adding the gin, Campari, and vermouth to the glass, filling with ice, stirring gently for 20–30 seconds, and then garnishing. This reduces glassware but gives the same result.

If you like a slightly lighter dilution, stir for a shorter time (12–15 seconds). For more dilution and colder temperature, stir a bit longer (30–40 seconds) or use colder, larger ice.
