 30 ml (1 oz) London Dry Gin
 30 ml (1 oz) Green Chartreuse
 30 ml (1 oz) sweet vermouth
 Lemon twist for garnish

Add a barspoon of Campari to a cocktail coupe and roll it around to coat the glass.

2

Half-fill a mixing jug with ice.

3

Add all ingredients and stir until well-chilled.

4

Strain into the cocktail couple.

5

Garnish with a twist of lemon peel.
