クラマ Kurama Recipe

Chill glass

Place a rocks glass or Old Fashioned glass in the freezer or fill with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

Add the awamori, Campari, Punt e Mes, sweet vermouth, and simple syrup (if you prefer slightly sweeter balance) into a mixing glass.

Add the orange bitters to the mixing glass.

Fill the mixing glass with plenty of fresh ice (about 1 cup) and stir gently with a bar spoon for 30–45 seconds until the mix is well chilled and slightly diluted (you want a satin texture and the vessel to be cold to the touch).

Dump the ice or water from the chilled serving glass and strain the cocktail through a julep or fine strainer into the chilled rocks glass over one large clear ice cube or a few fresh ice cubes.

Take the large orange peel and hold it over the drink, skin side down. Gently express the oils by giving it a quick squeeze so the citrus oils spray over the surface of the cocktail.

Sweep the rim with the expressed peel, then drop the peel onto the drink as garnish.

Serve immediately.
