Notes
- Pro tip: Chill all of the ingredients ahead of time so everything is ice cold when you combine it.
- Reduce the bitter edge: Add sweetness to your cocktail which will temper the bitterness. Add simple syrup, to taste, or an ounce of fresh orange juice, or top the cocktail with club soda or prosecco (which will also give the cocktail a fizzy note).
- Use a cocktail shaker. Instead of mixing the ingredients in a glass or measuring cup, combine them in a large cocktail shaker. Shake, and pour into glasses, straining out the ice.
- Make it stronger: Double the amount of gin, or double the Campari or the red vermouth, depending on what you favor.
