Tips
- For a sweeter twist, try using Prosecco instead of sparkling wine.
- Experiment with different garnishes, such as a cherry or a sprig of fresh rosemary, for added flavor.
- Adjust the proportions of Campari and sweet vermouth to suit your taste—feel free to make it a little more bitter or sweeter!
