Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Combine ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 1.5 oz rakija (or brandy), 0.5 oz maraschino liqueur, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 0.25 oz amaretto (if using). If you want a silky texture, add 0.5 egg white.

  3. 3

    Dry shake (if using egg white)

    If you added egg white, seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and build foam.

  4. 4

    Wet shake

    Add plenty of ice to the shaker, seal, and shake hard for 12–18 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch and properly diluted.

  5. 5

    Strain

    Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe/Nick & Nora glass using both the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any coagulated egg white.

  6. 6

    Garnish & serve

    Express the oils of an orange or lemon twist over the cocktail and wipe the rim with the twist, then drop it into the drink. Skewer a maraschino cherry (or place it in the glass) and serve immediately.
