Ingredients
- 3/4 ounce bourbon
- 3/4 ounce Aperol
- 3/4 ounce Amaro Nonino
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 piece of lemon zest for garnish
- Ice
Instructions
- Give your coupe or martini glass a little time-out in the freezer. I usually leave it in for one hour.
- In a cocktail shaker, add bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice.
- Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds.
- To make the lemon twist garnish, use a vegetable peeler or a small paring knife to slice a thin strip of peel from the lemon, around 2 to 3 inches long. Try to avoid the white pith, as it can be bitter. If you want a neater look, trim the edges of the peel to make a clean, even strip.
- Hold each end of the strip and twist it gently over your chilled glass to release the lemon oils. You’ll see a few drops fall into the glass, adding a fresh aroma. Set aside.
- Strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass. Place the twisted peel on the rim of your glass or drop it into the cocktail.
