Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Juice and measure

    Roll and squeeze fresh citrus to yield the required juice. Strain any pulp or seeds through a fine strainer into a jigger to measure 0.75 oz lime juice and 0.5 oz pink grapefruit juice.

  2. 2

    Combine ingredients

    Add 2 oz Flor de Caña white rum, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz fresh pink grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, and 0.25 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.

  3. 3

    Ice and shake

    Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted. This both chills and dilutes to proper balance.

  4. 4

    Double strain

    Double-strain the cocktail (using the shaker's strainer and a fine mesh strainer) into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove small ice chips and any pulp.

  5. 5

    Garnish and serve

    Express a grapefruit twist over the drink to release oils, wipe the rim with the twist and drop it into the cocktail (or garnish with a lime wheel). Serve immediately.
