Method

Cocktail

1

Chill glass

If desired, place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail, then discard the ice water before straining.

2

Combine ingredients

Add 2 oz Absolut Elyx, 0.5 oz dry vermouth and 2 dashes orange bitters into a mixing glass or a large mixing vessel.

3

Add ice and stir

Fill the mixing glass with 6 large ice cubes. Stir gently but thoroughly for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full strokes) until the liquid is well-chilled and slightly viscous, and the outside of the mixing glass becomes frosty.

4

Strain

Using a julep or Hawthorne strainer (or the mixing glass lid), double-strain the mixture into the chilled coupe or martini glass to remove any small shards of ice.

Garnish

5

Express the lemon peel over the surface of the cocktail by holding it over the glass and giving it a quick twist to release the oils, then gently run the peel around the rim and drop it into the drink as a garnish.

Service

6

Serve immediately. The drink yields one serving. Advise drinker to sip and enjoy the silky mouthfeel and bright citrus aromatics.
