Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces gin I'm partial to Beefeaters and Hendrix for most cocktails. If you prefer a little more dryness and alcohol—and since I would have just one, this is my preference here—double this, for 2 ounces gin per cocktail. Up to you.
  • 1 ounce dry vermouth
  • 1 ounce sweet vermouth
  • 2 ounces Campari
  • 2 orange (or lemon) twists I didn't have orange but that would be my choice.

Method
 

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a measuring glass or divide the ingredients between two glasses.
  2. Fill two double old-fashioned glasses with ice, preferably one large cube.
  3. Pour the cocktail over the ice in each glass and garnish with a twist.
  4. Alternately, fill the measuring glass with ice, stir till chilled and pour divide between two coups and garnish with a twist.
