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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Give your coupe or martini glass a little time-out in the freezer. I usually leave it in for one hour.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, add bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice.
  3. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
