Servings: 1
- 1 oz tequila blanco
- 1 oz sweet vermouth
- 1 oz Campari
- 1 oz cranberry juice
- Orange twist for garnish
In a mixing glass, combine tequila blanco, sweet vermouth, Campari, and cranberry juice.
Add ice to the mixing glass and stir until the mixture is well-chilled.
Fill a rocks glass with ice, preferably a large cube to minimize dilution.
Strain the chilled cocktail into the prepared rocks glass.
Hold the orange twist over the glass and twist it firmly to express the oils. Drop the twist into the drink for added aroma and visual appeal.
Pro Tips
- Tequila substitution: For a smoky variation, swap tequila blanco with mezcal to add depth.
- Glass chilling: Pre-chill your rocks glass for an even cooler, more refreshing sip.
- Cranberry balance: Use unsweetened cranberry juice for a slightly tart finish or sweetened cranberry juice for a smoother flavor.
