WINTER ROME WITH A VIEW

WINTER ROME WITH A VIEW

30ml campari
30ml dry vermouth
30ml lime juice
22.5ml winter syrup*
Soda water

Garnish: green olives, orange wheel

Place campari, dry vermouth, lime juice and winter syrup into cocktail shaker. Fill small side with ice and shake hard for 12 seconds. Double strain into highball filled with large ice cubes, before topping with soda to the top. Finish with too many green olives and orange wheel all tucked into the glass.

*Winter Syrup

1.5 cups caster sugar
2 cups water
2 oranges (peel & juice)
15 cloves
5 star anise
1 cinnamon stick

Place all ingredients into a pot/pan and bring to a high simmer, stirring to help break the sugar down. Let simmer away for 15 minutes, spooning foam off the top as you go. Once you have that desired syrup texture, let cool down before storing overnight in the fridge. Strain and will keep in the fridge for at least a month.
