Steps

  1. 1
    Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
  2. 2
    Pour the Campari and vermouth directly over the ice.
  3. 3
    Stir briefly to combine and chill.
  4. 4
    Top with cold soda water and give one gentle lift with the bar spoon — stirring hard drives out the carbonation.
  5. 5
    Garnish with an orange slice.
