Chill your serving glass by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the cocktail.
In a mixing glass, combine the gin, dry vermouth, and Campari.
Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes and stir gently for about 20-30 seconds to properly chill and dilute the drink.
Discard the ice water from the serving glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled glass.
Garnish with a fresh strip of orange peel. Gently squeeze the peel over the glass to release its oils, then drop it into the drink.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
