Yes. Multiply the recipe by the number of servings needed, combine in a pitcher with ice, stir well, and serve into chilled coupe or rocks glasses.
Campari provides bright, herbal bitterness; amaro adds deeper herbal sweetness and complexity. Both are essential to the drink's balanced profile.
Fresh-squeezed orange juice delivers better flavor and balance. Bottled juice can work but may result in a duller, sweeter drink.
A coupe glass or cocktail glass chilled with ice works best, though a rocks glass with one large cube is also traditional for aperitivo drinks.
