Method

Cocktail

Chill glass

Place a coupe or chilled cocktail glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink to get it nicely chilled.

Combine ingredients

Add 1.5 oz white rum, 0.5 oz Cointreau (or triple sec), 0.75 oz dry vermouth, 0.25 oz grenadine, and 0.25 oz fresh lime juice into a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Seal and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted. This both chills and dilutes the cocktail to proper balance.

Prepare glass

If you chilled the glass with ice water, dump out the water now. If it was in the freezer, remove it and make sure it’s dry.

Strain

Double-strain the mixture into the chilled coupe or cocktail glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer (or a single fine strainer if you have one) to remove small ice shards for a silky texture.

Garnish and serve

Express an orange peel over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down and giving it a quick twist above the surface to release oils, then rub the rim with the peel and drop it into the drink as garnish. Serve immediately.
