Prepare saline
If you don’t have pre-made saline, dissolve 1/4 teaspoon fine kosher salt in 1 ounce warm water. Measure 1/4 ounce of that saline for the drink. Chill or set aside while you prep the cocktail.

Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 3/4 to 1 cup). Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and well-diluted.

Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or a rocks glass over one large ice cube, depending on preference. Use a fine strainer to catch any ice shards or pulp.

Tasting notes: The bitter-sweet backbone of Campari complemented by the herbal-bitter Faccia Brutto is brightened by lime and rounded by a touch of saline and simple syrup for balance.
