Equipment
- high ball glass or rocks glass
Ingredients
- 1½ ounces Campari
- 1½ ounces sweet vermouth
- soda water, chilled
- orange peel for garnish
Instructions
- Use a vegetable peeler to cut the orange twists, being careful not to get any of the bitter white pith, just the aromatic peel.
- Fill a rocks glass with ice, pour in the Campari and sweet vermouth, then add the soda water. Give it one gentle stir to combine. Garnish with the orange peels and serve!
Notes
- Keep sweet vermouth refrigerated: It's actually a fortified wine, so once opened, keep it in the fridge. Then it will be ready for cold drinks like this Americano cocktail!
- There's no substitute for Campari: Campari has a very unique flavor, and there isn't really a good substitute. There are plenty of other Italian red bitter liqueurs, but they do have a different flavor.
- I like to make my own club soda: I use a Soda Stream! They are worth the investment if you enjoy fizzy water on its own and to make cocktails. Better for the environment, too!
