Ingredients

Liquids

  • 3 oz gin
  • 3 oz sweet vermouth
  • 3 oz Campari

Garnish

  • 1 orange peel
  • 1 fresh rosemary sprig

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixing glass: Fill a mixing glass with ice to chill the ingredients properly.
  2. Combine ingredients: Pour 3 oz gin, 3 oz sweet vermouth, and 3 oz Campari into the mixing glass. Stir gently until well chilled and diluted slightly.
  3. Strain and serve: Strain the mixture into rocks glasses filled with fresh ice cubes to keep your cocktail cool without watering it down too quickly.
  4. Garnish: Add an orange peel and a sprig of fresh rosemary to each glass as a beautiful and fragrant holiday garnish before serving.

Notes

  • Use a large ice cube for slower dilution and a cleaner presentation.
  • If you prefer a milder cocktail, reduce the alcohol quantities by half.
  • The rosemary adds a festive, herbal aroma—gently slap the sprig before garnishing to release the oils.
  • Try substituting the sweet vermouth with a spiced vermouth for extra holiday flavors.
