Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare demerara syrup (if not ready)

    Combine equal parts demerara sugar and hot water (for example 1/2 cup sugar + 1/2 cup water). Stir until sugar dissolves. Cool completely before using. Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks.

  2. 2

    Chill a coupe or nick & nora glass by filling with ice and water, or placing it in the freezer for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tito's Vodka (2 oz), Cocchi Torino (1/2 oz), Amaretto (1/2 oz), fresh lime juice (1/2 oz), demerara syrup (1/2 oz) and spiced cranberry bitters (2 dashes) into a cocktail shaker.

  4. 4

    Fill the shaker about two-thirds full with fresh ice.

  5. 5

    Dry shake (no additional ice) for 5–7 seconds only if you want slightly more texture from the amaretto; otherwise proceed directly to a hard shake. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

  6. 6

    Dump the ice and water from the chilled glass. 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.

  7. 7

    Express the oils of an orange twist over the surface of the cocktail by holding the twist about 3–4 inches above the drink and giving it a firm snap so the oils spritz onto the drink. Rub the twist around the rim and place it on the surface as a garnish.

  8. 8

    Optional: skewer 2–3 dehydrated or fresh cranberries and rest on the edge of the glass or float them in the coupe for visual contrast.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately.
