<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Prepare your glass by adding a large ice cube or several smaller cubes to chill it while you mix the cocktail. A properly chilled glass will maintain the ideal drinking temperature longer.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Fill your mixing glass halfway with ice — ideally larger cubes that will melt more slowly, preventing over-dilution while still properly chilling the drink.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Measure and add 30ml of gin, 30ml of Campari, 30ml of sweet vermouth, and 30ml of cold brew coffee concentrate to your mixing glass. The equal parts create a perfectly balanced cocktail where no single element overpowers the others.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Using your bar spoon, stir the cocktail gently for about 30 seconds with a smooth, continuous motion. You're aiming to chill and slightly dilute the drink without introducing air bubbles, which preserves the silky texture that makes this cocktail special.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Discard the ice from your pre-chilled rocks glass, and strain the cocktail into it over fresh ice. If using a large ice cube, the drink will dilute more slowly as you enjoy it, maintaining its complex flavors longer.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Cut a strip of orange peel about 5cm long and 2cm wide. Hold the peel skin-side down over the drink and gently twist to express the essential oils onto the surface of the cocktail. This adds a bright aromatic quality that complements both the bitter Campari and rich coffee notes.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Run the peel around the rim of the glass to further enhance the aromatic experience, then place it decoratively in or on the drink as garnish.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Let the cocktail rest for about 30 seconds before serving to allow all flavors to fully integrate. The coffee will have mellowed the Campari's bitterness while adding its own deep complexity, creating a sophisticated evolution of the classic Negroni.</li></ol>
