The main ingredients of this Italian cocktail are Campari bitters, gin, and sweet vermouth, mixed in equal parts. However, the sweet and spicy aroma of this classic drink takes on a new dimension when enhanced with smoky notes. Smoked salt works perfectly here. Garnish the rim of each glass with it and add a pinch inside. For an extra smoky flavor, add a wide strip of orange peel, grilled over an open flame. It also serves as a garnish. A fun option for a barbecue party.

• 2 tbsp chipotle sea salt
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• A slice of orange
• 0.5 cups Campari
