Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Build and stir

    Add mezcal, Cocchi Americano, and vermouth bianco to a mixing glass or shaker filled with ice. Use roughly 6 large ice cubes to chill and dilute properly.

  2. 2

    Stir

    Stir the mixture briskly for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 rotations) until well chilled and slightly diluted. The drink should be cold to the touch on the outside of the mixing glass and have slight dilution.

  3. 3

    Strain

    Strain the chilled cocktail into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass (or an old-fashioned glass with a single large ice cube, if preferred). Use a fine hawthorne or julep strainer to remove small ice chips.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Express a lemon twist over the surface of the cocktail by holding the twist skin-side down about 3–4 inches above the glass and giving it a sharp fold to release oils. Rub the rim with the twist and drop it into the drink.
