Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 45 ml Campari (1.5 oz)
  • 90 ml Fresh orange juice (3 oz); juiced from about 2 medium oranges
  • 1 cup Ice cubes full-size cubes, not crushed
  • 1 slice Orange wheel for garnish, optional

Method
 

  1. Chill a highball glass in the freezer for 5 minutes if you have time.
  2. Juice 2 medium oranges to get about 90 ml of fresh orange juice.
  3. Froth the orange juice alone using a milk frother, small blender, or by shaking hard in a tight-lidded jar for 15 seconds, until it turns pale and foamy on top.
  4. Fill the chilled glass with ice cubes.
  5. Pour 45 ml of Campari over the ice.
  6. Slowly pour the frothed orange juice on top so the foam sits above the Campari.
  7. Give it one gentle stir with a bar spoon, just enough to combine without killing the foam.
  8. Garnish with an orange wheel and serve right away.

Notes

  • Froth the orange juice alone before combining, never froth it with the Campari already in the glass.
  • Use a 1:2 Campari to orange juice ratio, do not go heavier on Campari than that.
  • Fresh-squeezed juice froths better than carton juice, plan for 2 oranges per drink.
  • Serve immediately after building, the foam collapses within 10 to 15 minutes.
