Method

Cocktail

Chill glass

Place a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer, or fill it with ice water and set aside to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

Measure and add ingredients

Add 1.5 oz Rémy V, 0.5 oz Green Chartreuse, 0.5 oz Luxardo Maraschino, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with about 6 large ice cubes. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is well chilled and the outside is frosty. This both chills and dilutes the cocktail to balance the strong liqueurs.

Prepare serving glass

If you chilled your glass with ice water, discard the water. If it was in the freezer, remove it now.

Double strain and serve

Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any pulp from the lime juice.

Garnish

Express a lime twist over the surface of the drink to release oils, then either drop the twist into the drink or hang a lime wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.
