Cocktail
Garnish & Aromatics
Method
Prep
- 1
Chill glass
Place a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer, or fill a rocks glass with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
- 2
If making simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan, heat until sugar dissolves, cool and refrigerate. Ensure sparkling apple cider is well chilled.
Build & Mix
- 3
Add 2 oz dry gin, 0.5 oz dry vermouth, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes aromatic bitters into a mixing glass.
- 4
Fill the mixing glass with ice (enough to reach near the top) and stir gently for 20–30 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted (about 15% dilution).
- 5
Discard ice/water from the chilled serving glass. Strain the stirred mixture into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.
- 6
Top gently with 2 oz chilled sparkling apple cider. Pour slowly down the side or over the back of a spoon to preserve effervescence.
Garnish & Finish
- 7
Lightly clap the thyme sprig between your hands to release its essential oils, then float it on the surface or rest it along the rim of the glass.
- 8
Garnish with a thin apple slice or small fan of apple on the rim or floated. Optionally express a thin lemon peel over the cocktail for extra citrus aroma before discarding or placing as additional garnish.
- 9
Serve immediately while sparkling cider is lively. Provide a small stirring pick if desired.
