Ingredients

  • 45 ml Campari
  • 45 ml Sweet Vermouth
  • 60 ml Soda Water
  • Ice
  • Orange twist for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by selecting a suitable glass for your cocktail. Fill it generously with fresh, clean ice cubes.
  2. Measure out the Campari and sweet vermouth accurately.
  3. Pour these ingredients slowly over the ice in the glass.
  4. Using a long bar spoon, stir the mixture lightly to combine the Campari and vermouth. Avoid overmixing at this stage.
  5. Carefully pour the measured amount of soda water over the mixture. Allow it to cascade gently over the other ingredients.
  6. With your bar spoon, give the entire cocktail a final, gentle stir. This helps to integrate the soda water without losing carbonation.

Following these steps results in a crisp, not-too-sweet cocktail. The soda water’s bubbles give it a light, airy touch, perfect for enjoying as you unwind.
