Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by chilling your cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of bourbon, 1 oz of Amaro dell'Etna, 0.5 oz of Grand Marnier, 0.5 oz of Bonal, and 0.5 oz of Cocchi Vermouth.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with 1 cup of ice, ensuring the ingredients are well-chilled and diluted as you stir.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture for about 30 seconds or until well-chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Discard the ice water from your chilled cocktail glass. Use a fine mesh strainer to pour the chilled cocktail mixture into the glass.

  6. 6

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of tiki bitters on top of the drink for an added depth of flavor.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Twist a piece of orange peel over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in as a garnish.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Your Mr. Balloon Hands 101 cocktail is now ready to be served. Enjoy responsibly!
