Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Choose a rocks glass and place one large clear ice cube into it. If desired, chill the glass briefly before assembling.

  2. 2

    Combine ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker add 1.5 oz dry gin, 1.5 oz amaro, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    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 very cold and slightly frosted on the outside.

  4. 4

    Strain

    Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared rocks glass over the large ice cube to keep it crystal clear and remove any small ice shards or citrus pulp.

  5. 5

    Garnish and serve

    Express the oils of a lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down about 3–4 inches above the glass and giving it a quick pinch. Rub the twist around the glass rim and drop it into the cocktail. Serve immediately.
