The Gambler's Hand
The art of playing it bold without showing your cards. A sophisticated wager where the bitter, botanical soul of the cherry vermouth secretly blends with the ruby strength of the macerated gin, holding in every sip the botanical richness of the southern forest.

Ingredients
Step by Step
Place a large, clear ice cube (or well-solid ice) in the old fashioned glass.
In a mixing glass with plenty of ice, pour in the 50 ml of Ingrato, the 25 ml of Azar, and the 25 ml of Campari (a 2:1:1 ratio).
Using a bar spoon, stir gently for 20 to 25 seconds to chill and integrate without breaking down the body of the cocktail — this drink is never shaken.
Strain the mix directly over the large ice cube in the short glass.
Cut a piece of orange peel, press it over the drink to release its oils, and place a sprig of rosemary or lemon verbena (lightly clapped) alongside the ice.
Tap each step to check it off as you make it.
