Amaro Nonino Recipe

Amaro Nonino Cocktail

1. 1

   Chill glass

   Place a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer or fill with ice and cold water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

2. 2

   Prepare honey syrup (if not ready)

   Combine 2 parts honey and 1 part hot water. Stir until fully dissolved and cool before using. Measure 0.25 oz for the recipe.

3. 3

   Combine ingredients

   Add 2 oz Amaro Nonino, 0.75 oz sweet vermouth, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz honey syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a mixing glass.

4. 4

   Add ice and stir

   Fill the mixing glass with plenty of ice (about 1 cup). Stir gently for 20–30 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted (glass should frost).

5. 5

   Strain and serve

   Discard the ice/water from the chilled serving glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or a rocks glass over a large ice cube, depending on preference.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Express a lemon twist over the drink to release the oils, rub the rim lightly with the peel, then drop the twist into the glass as garnish.
