Measure and combine
Measure 1 oz Bombay Sapphire gin, 1 oz sweet vermouth, and 1 oz Campari. Pour all three ingredients into a mixing glass or directly into a mixing vessel if you have one.

Add ice and stir
Fill the mixing glass with plenty of ice (about 4 large cubes). Stir gently but thoroughly for about 20–30 seconds (roughly 20–30 revolutions) until the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted. If you are mixing directly in the serving glass, stir carefully to avoid over-dilution.

Prepare serving glass
If you chilled the serving glass with ice water, empty it. Add 1–2 large fresh ice cubes or one large spherical ice cube to the glass.

Strain and serve
Strain the stirred cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared old-fashioned glass over the ice.

Express the orange twist
Take one piece of orange peel approximately 1.5–2 inches long and remove any excess pith. Hold it about 3–4 inches above the drink and give it a firm twist (skin side down) to express the citrus oils onto the surface of the cocktail. Rub the peel around the rim of the glass, then drop it into the drink. Optionally add an orange slice for additional garnish.

Final check
Serve immediately. Taste and, if desired, adjust by using slightly more vermouth for sweetness or slightly more gin for a drier, more botanical profile—adjust in future pours rather than altering the served drink.
