1
Chill glass
Place an Old Fashioned glass (rocks glass) in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Add the Malfy Orange Gin (1 oz), Select Italian Aperitivo (1 oz), Mommenpop Blood Orange Apéritif (1/2 oz) and blood orange cordial (1/4 oz) into a mixing glass or shaker without shaking.
3
Add ice and stir
Fill the mixing glass with large ice cubes (about 6 pieces or enough to reach the top). Stir gently with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 rotations) until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted. Aim for a cold, slightly silky texture; do not shake.
4
Prepare glass
Discard the chilling ice or remove the glass from the freezer. If you chilled with ice water, empty and dry the glass. Add one large clear ice cube or a few fresh large cubes to the glass.
5
Strain
Using a Hawthorne or fine strainer, strain the stirred cocktail into the chilled glass over the fresh ice.
6
Optional finish
If using bitters, add 1 dash to the top of the cocktail and let it settle for a few seconds. This will add aromatic complexity.

7
Express oil and garnish
Take a blood orange peel or thin wheel. If using a peel, hold it over the drink and gently squeeze/express the oils by bending the peel so oils spray over the surface; then rub the peel around the glass rim and drop it into the drink. If using a wheel, float it on top of the ice.
8
Serve
Present immediately. Serve as a single 1-serve cocktail. Suggest pairing with savory appetizers or enjoying as an aperitivo before dinner.
