This cocktail is deep with rich flavours, yet holds a bitter sweet finish. While smooth it also warms the soul. Enjoy near the closest fire you can find and forget about everything else! This is a strong one, so maybe hand the keys to someone else.

Ingredients

• 25ml Seppeltsfield Rd Distillers Shiraz Gin
• 30ml Campari
• 30ml Dry Vermouth (Maidenii recommended)

Method

1. Chill a tumbler with ice.
2. Prepare orange twist by peeling a strip of orange rind – remove as much of the pith as possible.
3. Fill a mixing glass with ice.
4. Measure and pour all ingredients over the ice.
5. Stir gently for at least 30 seconds to allow all the spirits to integrate.
6. Empty the ice that was in the tumbler out and half fill the glass with fresh ice.
7. Strain the cocktail over the ice.
8. Rim the edge of the glass with the orange rind, then twist the rind over the cocktail and drop it into the glass.
