The Riserva Reverie

Ingrediënten

• 45 ml Nonino UE Gran Riserva 30 Year Old Grappa
• 20 ml aged balsamic vinegar
• 15 ml fresh lemon juice
• 10 ml honey syrup
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 1 dash orange bitters

Bereiding

1. Add the grappa, aged balsamic vinegar, fresh lemon juice, honey syrup, and both bitters to a mixing glass filled with ice.
2. Stir continuously for 25-30 seconds until the mixture is properly chilled and diluted.
3. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared glass.
4. Express the oils from an orange twist over the surface of the cocktail.

Serve in a crystal coupe glass. Garnish with a single, thin orange twist positioned on the rim, and place a single luxardo cherry suspended on a cocktail pick across the glass. Present on a small slate or marble coaster to emphasize the premium nature of the spirit.
