Cocktail
Measure ingredients
Measure 2 oz Empress 1908 Gin, 0.75 oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, 0.75 oz Fontbonne 1874, and 0.75 oz fresh lime juice into a mixing glass or cocktail shaker.
Add ice and shake
Add a cup of ice to the shaker (enough to properly chill and dilute). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.
Fine strain
Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe/Nick & Nora using both the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove tiny ice shards and any pulp from the lime juice for a silky texture.
Garnish
Express the oils of a lime twist over the cocktail and drop it in, or finish with a maraschino cherry on a pick. Serve immediately.
