History
This cocktail has been around since the 1800s in various forms, usually equal parts Campari and freshly squeezed orange juice. That formulation lends itself to a very bitter-forward drink, so Naren Young from Caffe Dante, NYC, reinvented the cocktail as a highball in 2015. He uses a "fluffy orange juice" which is a super-aerated OJ using a high-speed juicer. For simplistic purposes though, hand squeezed or store-bought OJ will work just fine - you may just need to add a touch of simple syrup to sweeten it a bit. It makes for an excellent brunch cocktail.
