So you take 45 ml gin (of your choice) and 45ml Campari (preferably clear Campari). In case you don’t have clear Campari you can switch this ingredient with dry/sweet vermouth.

This is a drink that you prepare in a pitcher, it’s ideal for sundowners and we strongly recommend this drink for brunch.
