Now That's A Good Idea Recipe

Prepare and measure

Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass by placing it in the freezer or filling with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.

Add 2 oz Dillon's Rose Gin, 3/4 oz Amaro Nonino, 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice, 1/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino liqueur and 1/4 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice (about 6 medium-large cubes).

Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted. This chills and dilutes to the proper level and integrates the syrup and maraschino.

Dump the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any pulp from the lemon juice.

Express the oils of a lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down over the glass and gently squeezing to release the zest oils, then run the twist around the rim and drop it into the drink.

Optional: Skewer a Luxardo cherry and rest it across the rim or drop it into the cocktail for an additional maraschino aroma and visual cue.

Serve immediately. Enjoy responsibly.
