1
Chill glass
Place a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer or fill with ice and cold water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure the final drink is well chilled.
2
Measure and combine
Add 1.5 oz genziana liqueur, 0.75 oz sweet vermouth, 0.25 oz dry vermouth, and 0.25 oz Cynar (or substitute) into a mixing glass.
3
Add bitters and ice
Add 2 dashes of orange bitters to the mixing glass, then fill the mixing glass with large ice cubes so the liquid will chill without over-diluting.
4
Stir
Stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 strokes) until the outside of the mixing glass feels very cold and the liquid is properly diluted and silky.

5
Strain
Discard the ice/water from the chilled serving glass (if used). Double-strain the cocktail from the mixing glass into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora using a julep strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove any small ice shards.
6
Garnish
Express the oils of a lemon twist over the surface of the drink by holding the twist skin-side down above the glass and giving it a firm squeeze, then run the twist around the rim and drop it into the cocktail (or place on the rim) as garnish.
7
Serve
Serve immediately. The Antica Torino Genziana is best enjoyed slightly viscous, aromatic, and chilled.
