Should be served on the rocks, though. As Campari warms up, its bitterness increases.
I add a few drops of Orange bitters. A delightful switch up from a Manhattan.
I usually make it with Bulleit Rye whiskey, Campari and Antica Formula vermouth, 1 ounce each. One of my favorite cocktails. I prefer it up, even though I have my Negroni on the rocks.
Antica vermouth works perfectly. And def don’t leave out a healthy orange peel(s) 😉
Swap Campari with braulio
I used Aperol, as the store I went to didn't have Campari. It is sweeter, less bitter. I liked it a lot. I prefer Maker's Mark as well--smooth.
