Emmolo Recipe

Cocktail Preparation

1. 1

   Make honey syrup (if not ready)

   Combine equal parts honey and hot water (e.g., 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup hot water). Stir until fully dissolved and cool. Measure 0.25 oz for one drink; refrigerate remaining syrup up to 2 weeks.

2. 2

   Mix ingredients

   Add 2 oz gin, 1 oz dry vermouth, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 oz honey syrup into a cocktail shaker.

3. 3

   Add bitters and ice

   Add 2 dashes Angostura bitters and fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup or enough to nearly fill).

4. 4

   Shake

   Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted. This chills and dilutes the mixture appropriately while integrating the honey syrup.

5. 5

   Strain

   Double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe or martini glass to remove ice shards and any solids.

6. 6

   Garnish and serve

   Express a lemon twist over the drink (pinch the peel over the surface to release oils), run the twist around the rim, then drop it into the glass. Serve immediately.
