1
Make honey syrup
If you don't already have honey syrup, mix equal parts honey and very hot water (1:1 by volume) until fully combined and slightly cooled. Measure 0.5 oz for the recipe.
2
Combine ingredients
Add 2 oz Monkey Shoulder, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz honey syrup, 2 dashes orange bitters, and 1 dash aromatic bitters (if using) into a cocktail shaker.
3
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the exterior is frosted.
4
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass (over fresh large ice if you prefer it on the rocks) using a Hawthorne and fine strainer to remove small ice shards and pulp.
5
Garnish and serve
Express the oils of an orange twist over the drink by holding the twist over the glass and squeezing the peel to release the oils, then rub the rim with the peel and drop it into the glass as garnish. Serve immediately.
