Rise To The Occasion With Angostura!
Written by: Jason Dreyer Dreyer Save to Instapaper
ANGOSTURA© aromatic bitters has for years been the go-to ingredient when it came to all things cocktails. Today, it is still the number one ingredient when creating world-class cocktails, and the Ascension Sunday is in a class of its own!
An adaptation from the 2018 Angostura Global Cocktail Challenge winning cocktail, Ascension Sunday is a smoky and fresh citrus take on a cocktail that carries a rich roasted nut aroma and bitter taste.
Recreating this winner at home is easy bringing the perfect balance of sweet and sour enhanced with two dashes of ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters.
Ingredients
5ml Absinthe
37.5ml Mezcal
20ml Medium cream sherry
1 bar spoon Muscovado sugar (brown sugar)
Flesh of ¼ grapefruit
4 dashes Angostura Aromatic bitters
Method:
Muddle the grapefruit flesh, sugar, Absinthe, Mezcal and Sherry in the bottom of the highball glass. Add half a glass of crushed ice and stir three to four times and top with crushed ice.
Garnish: dehydrated grapefruit slice.
