Cocktail
Garnish
Method
Prepare glass
- 1
Chill & optional sugar rim
Chill a tall Collins or highball glass in the freezer for 5 minutes. If you want a sugared rim, rub a grapefruit wedge around the glass lip and dip the rim into coarse sugar to lightly coat.
Build the cocktail
- 2
Fill a shaker or mixing glass with the ice.
- 3
Add Goldschläger, fresh lime juice, simple syrup and Angostura bitters to the shaker.
- 4
Briefly hard-shake (5–7 seconds) or stir vigorously for about 10 seconds to chill and lightly dilute — the cinnamon schnapps benefits from a short shake to integrate with citrus.
- 5
Strain the mixture into the chilled glass filled halfway with fresh ice.
- 6
Slowly top with the Stiegl Grapefruit Radler (pour gently down the side of the glass) to preserve carbonation and create a layered effervescent look — about 1.5 cups.
- 7
Give the drink one very gentle stir (1–2 rotations) to marry flavors without flattening the beer.
