Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice and cold water. Set aside while you build the drink.

2

Measure and add spirits

In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, add 2 tablespoons gin, 1 tablespoon Campari, and 1 tablespoon sweet vermouth.

3

Add modifiers

Add 1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon simple syrup, and 2 dashes (about 2 teaspoons) orange bitters to the mixing glass.

4

Add ice and stir

Fill the mixing glass with ice (approximately 1 cup). Stir gently with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

5

Prepare serving glass

Dump the ice and water from the chilled coupe or martini glass and strain the chilled cocktail into the glass using a fine strainer or Hawthorne strainer.

6

Garnish and serve

Express an orange twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down over the glass and giving it a firm bend to release oils, then rub the rim with the twist and drop it into the cocktail. Serve immediately.
