Method
- Chill the Glass:Place your rocks or coupe glass in the freezer or fill with ice water while preparing the drink.
- Mix Ingredients:In a mixing glass or shaker, combine mezcal, sweet vermouth, Campari, and freshly squeezed orange juice.
- Add Ice and Stir:Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir for about 30 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
- Prepare the Glass:If you used ice water to chill your glass, discard it. Strain the cocktail into the glass over a large ice cube or neat if preferred.
- Garnish:Express the oils of an orange peel over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a quick flame with a lighter. Rub the peel around the rim, then drop it in.

Notes
- Choosing the Mezcal: Go for “Espadín” for smoky balance, or “Tobalá” for a floral, complex profile.
- Vermouth Quality: A top-tier vermouth like Carpano Antica or Cocchi elevates the drink.
- Flaming Safely: Keep the flame brief and away from flammable surroundings.
- Batch Version: Scale up proportions and store in a chilled pitcher for gatherings. Serve over fresh ice.
