Method

Cocktail

Combine

Add Skyy Blood Orange vodka (2 oz), Cynar (1/2 oz), fresh lemon juice (3/4 oz), simple syrup (1/2 oz), orange bitters (2 dashes), and egg white (1/2 oz, optional) into a cocktail shaker.

Dry shake

If using egg white, secure the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and build a silky foam.

Shake with ice

Add ice to the shaker and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until well chilled (exterior of shaker becomes very cold).

Strain

Double strain (through a Hawthorne or fine mesh) into a chilled rocks glass over a large ice cube or into a chilled coupe if serving without ice.

Garnish & Finish

Express the oils of a lemon twist over the cocktail by holding the twist over the drink and giving it a quick pinch, then rub the peel on the glass rim and drop it into the drink.

Float a dehydrated blood orange wheel on the foam or rest it against the ice for visual appeal.

Serve immediately with a short stir if desired to marry the Cynar’s bitter notes with the citrus.
