Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a coupe or old-fashioned glass by filling it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail, or place it in the freezer for a few minutes.
Measure and combine
In a cocktail shaker, add 1.5 oz Amaro Nonino, 1.5 oz rye whiskey or bourbon, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker about two-thirds full with ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Strain and serve
Discard the ice water from your chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe (or strain over a large clear ice cube in an old-fashioned glass) using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to catch any small ice shards or pulp.
Garnish
Express the oils of a lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down over the cocktail and giving it a firm squeeze to release the oils, then rub the rim with the peel and drop the twist into the drink as garnish.
Serve
Serve immediately while cold. Sip and enjoy the balance of bitter, citrus, herbal Amaro with the backbone of whiskey.
