Scale
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces Campari
- 1 1/2 ounces sweet vermouth, like Dolin
- 2 ounces club soda*
- 1 slice of orange, for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in the Campari and sweet vermouth, then gently pour the club soda into the glass at a 45-degree angle to preserve the bubbles.
- Gently stir with a spoon, and garnish with a slice of orange. Serve at once.
Notes
Make it lighter: For a lower-alcohol drink with a lighter flavor, use 1 ounce or less each of the Campari and vermouth.
Club soda recommendations: James Bond insists on Perrier, but I prefer Fever Tree or Topo Chico for the plentiful bubbles.
