Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Chill glass

    Place a coupé or chilled coupe-style glass in the freezer or fill with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail (3–5 minutes).

  2. 2

    Combine ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour 2 oz St. Augustine New World gin, 0.75 oz Rhum Clément, 1.5 oz house-made horchata, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 oz fresh lime juice. If your horchata is not very sweet, add 0.25 oz orgeat or almond simple syrup. Add one light dash of aromatic bitters if desired.

  3. 3

    Shake

    Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted. The vigorous shake helps to aerate the horchata and integrate the dairy-like texture.

  4. 4

    Prepare glass and ice

    Discard ice water from the chilled coupe (if used). Fill the chilled coupé with fine shaved ice, mounded slightly above the rim to create a cold bed for the liquid.

  5. 5

    Strain

    Double-strain the shaken cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the coupe, pouring gently over the shaved ice so the liquid sinks into and around the ice rather than melting it immediately.

  6. 6

    Finish & garnish

    If desired, grate a small pinch of cinnamon over the top or express a lemon or lime twist over the drink and lay it on the ice. Serve immediately with a short spoon or straw for sipping through the shaved ice.
