This version of the classic, bitter Italian cocktail was created by Eben Freeman, bartender of Tailor restaurant in New York City. The video also demonstrates the flaming zest orange twist technique, which heats the oils, making for a very aromatic drink. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) sweet vermouth |
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) campari |
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) dry gin |
1 cup ice cubes |
1 navel orange peel twist |
Directions:
1. In chilled cocktail shaker or pint glass, stir together vermouth, Campari, gin, and ice until well combined. Strain into martini glass and garnish with orange twist.
2. Bartender's note: At Tailor, Freeman garnishes this drink with a flaming orange twist : From a whole orange, cut a piece of zest about the size of a half dollarcut the peel so there is just skin, no bitter white pith. Light a match, let it burn for two seconds to get rid of excess sulfur, and then hold it three inches over the cocktail and about one inch away from the zest. The darker orange side should face down, over the drink. Squeeze to release the oils into the drink. Then drop in the zest and serve.
