A bittersweet, ruby-red cocktail just got a seasonal upgrade, and it's naturally free of gluten at every step. The homemade strawberry syrup is the real star here β fresh berries, sugar, and water simmered down into a jewel-toned liquid that adds a fruity brightness to the classic bitter-and-boozy formula. Gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth are all inherently gluten-free spirits and liqueurs, so there's no need to stress over label-checking or substitutions. The technique is straightforward: make the syrup, stir everything over ice until properly chilled, and strain into a rocks glass over a big, beautiful cube. That long stir β 30 to 40 seconds β is what gives the drink its silky, slightly diluted texture, so don't rush it. A halved strawberry and a curled orange peel twist finish the whole thing off with a little drama. It's the kind of cocktail that looks like it came from a serious bar but comes together in your own kitchen with minimal effort.

Combine the strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then press the strawberries gently with the back of a spoon and cook until the berries are fully softened and the syrup is a deep pink, about 4β5 minutes.
Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl or jar, pressing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
