Money in the Bank

Money in the Bank is a characterful, bittersweet aperitivo that brilliantly anchors a crisp London Dry Gin base with a deeply complex trio of smoky mezcal, rich Amaro Meletti, and earthy Cynar. Stirred and served up in a chilled coupe, this robust and highly botanical sipper is elegantly finished with an expressed orange zest twist.

Ingredients:

• 45 ml Hayman's London Dry Gin

• 15 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

• 15 ml Amaro (e.g., Meletti)

• 15 ml Cynar or other carciofo amaro

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill a coupe glass.

• Prepare a garnish of orange zest twist.

• Stir all ingredients with ice.

• Fine strain into a chilled glass.

• Express orange zest twist over the cocktail and use as garnish.
