Method
- Place a large ice cube in a rocks glass (Old Fashioned glass) to begin chilling.
- In a mixing glass, measure and combine the London Dry Gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth.
- Fill the mixing glass about 3/4 full with standard ice cubes.
- Using a long bar spoon, stir smoothly and continuously for 20 to 30 seconds to chill and properly dilute the cocktail.
- Using a strainer, pour the chilled cocktail over the large ice cube in your prepared rocks glass.
- Garnish by sliding a thick fresh orange wheel down the inside edge of the glass, or by expressing the oils from an orange peel over the surface and dropping it in. Serve immediately.
Notes
Always store your open bottle of sweet vermouth in the refrigerator to keep it from spoiling. For a slightly less sweet drink, increase the gin to 1.5 oz.
