Ingredients ~

1 ounce sweet red vermouth
1-1/4 ounce Campari
1-1/4 ounce sparkling white wine
1 roasted orange wedge
Orange peel for garnish

Directions ~

Place the orange wedge in a mixing glass and add vermouth. Muddle to release the charred orange bits into the vermouth. Add Campari and ice, and stir. Strain into a chilled ice-filled rocks glass and top with sparkling wine. Do not stir. Garnish with orange peel.

To make roasted oranges: Slice oranges into wedges and cover with sweet red vermouth. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, remove oranges from the vermouth and grill until the sugar caramelizes and black specks form on the oranges.
