How to Make a Campari and Soda

Campari and soda is one of the easiest cocktails to mix. A light, crisp and refreshing drink, it can be enjoyed as a premeal cocktail or for cooling off in the hot summer months. However, don't be tricked by the color, as Campari is a luscious pink that screams sweet, but the flavor is bitter. A few tips can teach you how to make and personalize your new favorite drink.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Oranges
• Large ice cubes
• Metal drink shaker
• Campari
• Cold soda water
• Highball glasses or martini glasses
• Sweet vermouth (optional)

1. Prepare your garnishes before you mix your drinks. Choose the brightest, freshest and juiciest oranges you can find, slicing them into thin wheels. Cut a slit from the center of the orange to the peel so the garnish can rest comfortably on the edge of your glass.

2. Place a few large ice cubes into a metal drink shaker and make your Campari and soda by simply adding equal parts of Campari and cold soda water. Cover and shake for a few seconds to thoroughly chill the drink.

3. Pour the mixed drink into highball glasses filled with ice, or for a classier presentation, forget the ice and pour your colorful drink into a sexy martini glass. Place your orange wheels on the edge of the glass, serve and enjoy.

Tips & Warnings

• Transform your Campari and soda into an Americano if you prefer to blend the bitter with a splash of sweet. When mixing the soda and Campari, add an equal part of sweet vermouth. Shake and serve with a slice of orange.
