The Aperitivo

Recipe adapted from Matt Hanson and Nick Africano, Tertulia, New York City

Yield: 1 drink


Cook Time: 5 minutes

  • INGREDIENTS
  • 8 to 9 fresh rosemary leaves

    1 dash lavender bitters 

    Ice

    1½ ounces Perruchi dry (white) vermouth

    1 ounce manzanilla sherry (such as La Gintana)

    1 dash orange bitters

    One 3-inch swatch of orange peel

    Soda

DIRECTIONS

In an old-fashioned glass, muddle the rosemary leaves with the lavender bitters. Fill the glass with ice. Add the vermouth, sherry and orange bitters, then fill to the rim with soda and stir gently. Twist the orange peel over the surface of the drink to express the oils, then drop the peel into the cocktail and serve.
