Method

Cocktail

1

Build the drink

Fill an old-fashioned (rocks) glass with 4 large ice cubes. Pour 1 oz Campari and 1 oz sweet vermouth over the ice.

2

Top and stir

Top the mixture with 2 oz chilled club soda. Gently stir with a bar spoon 4–6 times to combine and slightly chill without over-diluting.

3

Garnish

Express the oils of an orange twist over the surface by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a quick pinch above the glass, then run the peel around the rim and drop it into the drink as a garnish.

4

Serve immediately as an aperitivo. Adjust club soda to taste for a slightly stronger or lighter drink.
