Base Spirit

2 oz Irish whiskey

Modifiers & Sweeteners

1/2 oz Demerara or brown sugar syrup (1:1)1/4 oz Averna or amaro (or sweet herbal liqueur)

Citrus & Bitters

1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice2 dashes Angostura bitters

Garnish

1 piece Large ice cube(s)1 piece Lemon twist

Method

Prep

Chill glass

Place an old-fashioned glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill.

Make sure fresh lemon juice is ready and sugar syrup is mixed (equal parts demerara sugar and hot water, cooled).

Build & Shake

Combine

In a shaker, add 2 oz Irish whiskey, 0.5 oz demerara/brown sugar syrup, 0.25 oz Averna (or other sweet herbal amaro), 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.

Shake

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

Finish

Strain & Serve

Discard ice water from the chilled old-fashioned glass. Place a large ice cube in the glass and double-strain the shaken cocktail over the ice to remove small shards.

Garnish

Express the oils from a lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist over the glass and quickly bending it to release oils, then rub the peel on the rim and drop it into the drink.

Serve immediately.
