What started as a thoughtful exercise about balance, turned into one of the favorite cocktails at Juniper and Ivy in San Diego. “I wanted something bright, grounded, herbal but refreshing, a cocktail that felt like it belonged in the roaring ’20s—whether in a dimly lit bar or on a sun-drenched patio,” says drink creator and bar lead Alex Siegelin.

Ingredients

1 oz. London dry gin
1 oz. Cynar
3/4 oz. dry curaçao
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
5-6 loose mint leaves

Tools:shaker, strainer
Glass:coupe
Garnish:dehydrated lemon wheel

Preparation

Add all the ingredients to a shaker with ice. Shake to chill and strain into the glass. Garnish.
NOTE“This can also be made with vodka, and you can replace the curaçao with triple sec or any orange liqueur.”
