Trident Cocktail

A bittersweet and herbaceous nod to the Negroni.
Robert Hess calls the Negroni-esque Trident “one of my most successful cocktails.” Combining equal parts of sherry, Cynar and aquavit with a couple of dashes of bitters, it’s deliciously dry, bitter and herbaceous. The original recipe called for 2 dashes of peach bitters, but Hess subsequently revised it to include 1 dash of peach bitters and 1 dash of orange bitters.

- 1 oz. dry sherry
- 1 oz. Cynar
- 1 oz. aquavit

- 1 dash orange bitters
- Tools:mixing glass, barspoon, strainer
- Glass:cocktail
- Garnish:lemon twist
Preparation
