Instructions
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine 3 ounces of gin, 3 ounces of sweet vermouth, and 3 ounces of Campari. Stir gently until the mixture is well chilled, about 30 seconds.
Strain Cocktail: Strain the chilled mixture into rocks glasses that are filled with fresh ice cubes to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish each cocktail with a twist of orange peel and a fresh sprig of rosemary to enhance the aroma and add a festive visual appeal before serving.
Notes
Use a good quality gin for the best flavor balance.
To release more citrus oils, gently twist the orange peel over the glass before using it as garnish.
Fresh rosemary adds a lovely aromatic touch; gently bruise the sprig before garnishing to release more fragrance.
This cocktail is ideally served cold and freshly prepared, so stir just before serving.
