Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Make turbinado simple syrup

    Combine equal parts turbinado sugar and water (by weight or volume) in a small saucepan — for example 1/2 cup turbinado sugar and 1/2 cup water. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate in a sealed container up to 2 weeks.

  2. 2

    If you want a sugared rim, rub a lemon wedge around the glass rim then dip the rim briefly into a small plate of turbinado sugar. Chill the glass or set aside a chilled coupe.

  3. 3

    Add rye whiskey (1 oz), Amaro (1 oz), Aperol (1/2 oz), fresh lemon juice (3/4 oz), turbinado simple syrup (3/4 oz) and 2 dashes aromatic bitters into a cocktail shaker.

  4. 4

    Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the outside is frosty. This chills and dilutes the drink to balance the flavors.

  5. 5

    Double-strain the mixture into the prepared chilled coupe or a rocks glass over a large ice cube, using a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any pulp.

Garnish

  1. 6

    Express the lemon twist over the surface of the cocktail by holding it skin-side down and giving it a quick twist to release oils, then rub the rim with the peel and drop it onto the drink as garnish.

  2. 7

    Serve immediately. Optionally, present with a small spoon of extra turbinado sugar on the side for additional sweetness adjustment.
