Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients listed above. Make sure to have fresh lemons to extract the juice.

  2. 2

    Juice the Lemons

    Take fresh lemons and cut them in half. Using a citrus juicer, press to extract 0.75 oz of fresh lemon juice. Strain if necessary to remove seeds and pulp.

  3. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 1 oz of Macallan 12 Year Scotch, 1 oz of Amaro Nonino, 1 oz of Aperol, and 0.75 oz of fresh pressed lemon juice.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the shaker with ice, enough to chill the mixture adequately.

  5. 5

    Shake the Cocktail

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

  6. 6

    Strain and Serve

    Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled coupe glass, ensuring no ice shards make it into the glass.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Take a piece of lemon peel, twist it over the cocktail to release its oils, and drop it into the drink as a garnish.
