The Long Walk Home Cider Cocktail

Lightly effervescent and full of apple goodness, this cider cocktail captures the crisp acidity of Spanish sidra and finishes with amaro’s bittersweet complexity.

1 oz. bourbon
1 oz. Ramazzotti
¾ oz. fresh lemon juice
¾ oz. brown sugar syrup (1:1)
2 dashes Basque or Angostura bitters
Spanish cider to top (Urdaneta uses Trabanco)
Tools: shaker
Glass: Collins
Garnish: Amarena cherry

Combine the bourbon, amaro, lemon juice, syrup and bitters in an ice-filled shaker. Shake until chilled. Pour into an ice-filled highball, top with cider and garnish.
