Iron Orchid

A spritz with a spine — bitter-orange Campari and bergamot Italicus up front, grapefruit driving it dry, a whisper of cherry, Italian sparkling lifting it.

  • Campari1½ ounces
  • Italicus Bergamot Liqueur1 ounce
  • Luxardo Maraschino1 bar spoon
  • Grapefruit juice (fresh)1 ounce
  • Grapefruit bitters3 dashes
  • Prosecco3 ounces
  • Grapefruit peel1 twist

Build Campari, Italicus, Luxardo, grapefruit juice, and bitters in the glass. Stir briefly to combine. Add ice (one large cube or fill). Top with Prosecco, pouring gently to preserve the bead. Express the grapefruit peel over the top and drop it in.
