Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Chill glass

Place a martini or coupe glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill.

2

Measure and combine

Fill a cocktail shaker with the specified ice. Add 1.5 oz Canadian whisky, 0.75 oz sour apple liqueur, 1.5 oz cranberry juice, 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup (if using) to the shaker.

3

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes cold and slightly frosted. This chills and dilutes the drink properly.

4

Prepare glass

Remove the chilled glass from the freezer or discard the ice water and dry the glass if used.

5

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled martini glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer (or just the shaker strainer) to catch ice shards.

6

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lemon twist or a thin apple slice on the rim. Serve immediately.
