Method

Cocktail

1

Chill glass (optional)

If you prefer a colder glass, place the serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink.

2

Combine ingredients

In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker filled about two-thirds with ice, pour 1 oz Campari, 1 oz Weiss gin, and 1 oz sweet vermouth.

3

Stir

Using a long bar spoon, stir the mixture briskly for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 full rotations) until well chilled and slightly diluted—glass should be noticeably cold and the outside of the mixing glass slightly frosted.

4

Prepare serving glass

Discard any ice water from the chilled glass if used. Add one large ice cube or ice sphere to the serving glass.

5

Strain

Strain the stirred cocktail from the mixing glass into the serving glass over the large ice cube using a Hawthorne or julep strainer (or by holding back ice with the spoon).

6

Express orange oils & garnish

Take the orange peel, hold it with the outer (zested) side facing down over the drink, and give it a sharp fold or squeeze to express the oils over the surface. Rub the peel's rim on the glass if desired, then drop the peel into the drink as garnish.

7

Serve

Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the balance of bitter, botanical, and sweet flavors.
