Cocktail base

Citrus & sugar

Method

Prep

  1. 1

    Chill glass

    Place a coupe or chilled cocktail glass in the freezer or fill with ice water to chill while preparing the drink.

  2. 2

    Juice fresh lemon and measure simple syrup. If using whole citrus, roll lemon on the counter to loosen juice before cutting.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine bourbon (2 oz), sweet vermouth (0.5 oz), dry vermouth (0.5 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.5 oz) and simple syrup (0.25 oz) in a cocktail shaker.

  2. 4

    Add 2 dashes Angostura bitters and 1 dash orange bitters to the shaker.

  3. 5

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

Strain & serve

  1. 6

    Discard ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or a rocks glass over fresh ice, using a Hawthorne and a fine mesh strainer to remove shards.

  2. 7

    Express the oils from a lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down above the glass and giving it a quick squeeze, then rub the twist around the rim and drop it into the glass along with the cherry as garnish.

  3. 8

    Serve immediately.
