Ingredients

  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 1 oz sweet vermouth
  • 1 oz Campari
  • Orange peel or slice for garnish

Instructions

  • In a mixing glass filled with ice, add bourbon, sweet vermouth, and Campari.
  • Stir the mixture for 20–30 seconds to ensure it’s well-chilled and properly combined.
  • Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube, or into a coupe glass if serving straight up.
  • Express the oils from an orange peel over the drink by giving it a firm twist above the glass. Drop the peel into the drink or garnish with an orange slice for a festive look.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Chill your glass: Pre-chill your serving glass for an even cooler, more refreshing experience.
  • Vermouth freshness: Use fresh sweet vermouth, as it loses its flavor over time. Store it in the fridge to keep it longer.
  • Orange peel technique: Use a sharp knife or peeler to create a wide, even peel for easier expression of oils.
