Method

Cocktail

1

Build the cocktail

Fill an old-fashioned (rocks) glass about three-quarters full with ice cubes.

2

Pour 1 oz Campari over the ice directly into the glass.

3

Add 1 oz sweet vermouth to the glass.

4

Gently stir the Campari and vermouth with a bar spoon for about 10–15 seconds to chill and combine.

5

Top with about 2 oz (approximately a splash to a quarter of the glass) of chilled club soda or sparkling water. Pour slowly to preserve carbonation.

6

Garnish and serve

Give the drink one gentle stir to integrate the soda without flattening it. Garnish with an orange slice or a twist of orange peel. Serve immediately.
