Origami Recipe

Chill glass

Place a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while preparing the cocktail.

Combine ingredients

In a mixing glass, add 1.75 oz Slane Irish Whiskey, 0.5 oz Amaretto, 0.75 oz Cappelletti, 0.5 oz fresh yuzu juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

Add ice & stir

Fill the mixing glass about two-thirds full with ice. Stir gently and consistently for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full strokes) until the mixture is well chilled, slightly diluted, and glossy.

Prepare glass

Discard the ice water from the chilled glass (if used) and, if desired, run the twist of yuzu or lemon around the rim to add aroma.

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail from the mixing glass into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora using a Hawthorne or julep strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any pulp from the yuzu.

Express the citrus oils: hold the yuzu or lemon twist over the drink and give it a firm squeeze to release the oils, then rub the twist along the glass rim and drop it into the cocktail as a garnish. Optionally give one small spritz of expressed yuzu oil over the surface for an extra aromatic lift.
