How to make:

STIR all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.

Garnish:

Lemon zest twist

Comment:

The balance of bitters to sugar is key to the success of this cocktail. Use a Japanese dasher bitters bottle and measure your 2:1 sugar syrup judiciously and you’ll have made something special. Go easy while spraying the lemon zest over the drink – too much lemon oil will wreck its fine balance.

About:
