Cocktail

Chill glass
Place a rocks glass in the freezer, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure the glass is nicely chilled.

Combine ingredients
In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add 2 oz bourbon, 0.75 oz Campari, 0.75 oz sweet vermouth, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz raspberry liqueur, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

Prepare serving glass
Discard the chilling ice/water from the rocks glass. Place a large ice cube or sphere in the chilled rocks glass.
- 5
Strain
Using a julep or Hawthorne strainer, strain the mixed cocktail over the large ice cube in the chilled rocks glass to avoid additional dilution from small ice.

Garnish and finish
Skewer three fresh raspberries on a cocktail pick and rest it across the rim or drop them gently into the drink. Express a lemon twist over the cocktail to release oils, rub the peel around the rim, and either place it on the rim or drop it into the drink.

Serve
Serve immediately while cold. Encourage the drinker to sip slowly to appreciate the interplay of bitter Campari, sweet vermouth and raspberry notes against the warmth of bourbon.
