Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
If serving on the rocks, fill a rocks glass with fresh ice and set aside. If serving up, chill a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes.
Measure and combine
Using a jigger, pour 1.5 oz Tanqueray gin, 0.75 oz Disaronno Amaretto, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.
Add bitters and ice
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the shaker. Fill the shaker with fresh ice (about 1 cup) until nearly full.
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the exterior of the shaker feels cold and slightly frosted. This dilutes and chills the drink while integrating the Disaronno and citrus.
Strain
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain the cocktail into the prepared glass: over the fresh ice in the rocks glass if serving on the rocks, or double-strain into the chilled coupe for a smooth, up presentation.
Garnish and finish
Garnish with 1 cocktail cherry placed in the glass and optionally a lime wheel or twist on the rim. Serve immediately.
Tools
Use the jigger to measure spirits and mixers accurately. Use the shaker and strainer as described above. Chill glassware ahead for best temperature control.
