Method

Base & Spirits

Measure & Combine

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 tbs gin, 1 tbs Cynar, and 1/2 tbs dry vermouth.

Citrus & Sweetening

Add 1/2 tbs fresh lemon juice and 1/4 tbs simple syrup to the shaker. These balance the bitterness and add brightness.

Bitters & Aromatics

Add 2 tsp orange bitters and 1 tsp Angostura bitters to the shaker. This layers citrus and spice aromatics into the cocktail.

Fill the shaker with plenty of ice (enough to chill and dilute properly).

Finish & Dilution

Shake & Strain

Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted. Double-strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove small ice shards.

Garnish

Express the oils of a grapefruit zest over the drink by holding the zest over the surface and giving it a sharp twist, then rub the rim and drop it in as garnish. Serve immediately.
