Bo Bech’s bittersweet ginseng.

Once you’ve acquired a taste for it, there’s no going back

Serves 1

30ml Kamm & Sons (see introduction)
20ml red vermouth – I use Punt e Mes
10ml orange curaçao liqueur – I use Giffard’s
5ml Campari

Kamm & Sons is a British spirit that features more than 40 botanicals, the main ones being ginseng and grapefruit peel. It’s almost gin-like, and quite bitter, too. Once you’ve acquired a taste for it, there’s no going back.

Pour everything into a stirring glass (or jug), add a lot of ice, then stir. Pour into a cold coupe, and serve.
