Cocktail of the Week : The Summer Abroad
Cocktail Recipe of the Week: The Summer Abroad
Welcome back to our "Cocktail Recipe of the Week" series. This week, we have an exciting and sophisticated concoction that will take your taste buds on a thrilling adventure.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz rye whiskey
- 1 oz orange curacao
- 1/2 oz fernet blanca
- Ice cubes
- Orange peel for garnish
Instructions:
-
Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients and bar tools. Make sure you have a mixing glass, a bar spoon, and a jigger.
-
In the mixing glass, pour in 2 ounces of rye whiskey, followed by 1 ounce of orange curacao.
-
Now, add 1/2 ounce of fernet blanca to the mix. Fernet blanca, with its distinctive herbal notes, will bring a complex and intriguing dimension to the cocktail.
-
Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes, ensuring they are of good quality and size. This will help chill the ingredients and dilute the drink just enough.
-
Take your bar spoon and gently stir the mixture for about 20-30 seconds. The aim here is to marry the flavors without over-diluting the cocktail.
-
Once sufficiently mixed, strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass or a rocks glass filled with ice.
-
To add a touch of elegance, take a fresh orange peel and express its oils over the surface of the drink. This will release the citrusy aroma and provide a beautiful garnish.
-
Optionally, you can twist the orange peel to form a spiral and place it in the glass as a final decorative touch.
Stay tuned for next week's "Cocktail Recipe of the Week" and continue to elevate your cocktail game. Until then, cheers and happy mixing!
