Few cocktails are as effortlessly sophisticated as this bittersweet classic, and the good news is it comes together with just three ingredients and a little patience at the stirring glass. Gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth are naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution gymnastics required here β just pure, unadulterated cocktail craft. The key is that 20-to-25-second stir, which chills the drink thoroughly while adding just enough dilution to soften the edges of the bitter Campari and round out the botanicals in the gin. Straining over a single large ice cube keeps things cold without watering down that deep, ruby-red beauty sitting in your glass. The finishing touch β a firm twist of orange peel expressed over the surface β releases fragrant citrus oils that lift the whole drink and make it smell as good as it tastes. It's the kind of cocktail that feels like you ordered it at a dimly lit bar in Milan, except you made it yourself in about three minutes flat.
