A stirred, bittersweet drink of Campari and sweet vermouth, with pineapple rum adding a tropical body, a touch of maraschino liqueur and an absinthe rinse. Finished with orange peel. Created by Frederic Yarm in Boston in 2025.
Frederic Yarm created Stepwise Improvement in Boston in 2025, starting from Liholiho Yacht Club's tropical Negroni, Step into Liquid. The recipe was adjusted with ideas from Eastern Standard's Carnivale, which uses maraschino to soften Campari, and from the Improved Cocktail of the 1880s, which contains maraschino and absinthe.
