Notes
- Use plenty of ice when making this drink. The ice not only chills the drink but also dilutes those potent spirits and liqueurs. It is essential to stir it with the ice for at least 30 seconds.
- If time allows, chill the serving glass for 15 minutes before pouring the drink. Doing so helps ensure the drink is satisfyingly chilled at the point of serving.
- Keep in mind that this Amaro Montenegro cocktail is a strong one – sip it slowly and enjoy all of those flavours.
- Have some fun playing around with alternative garnishes. Swap the lemon zest for orange zest. Add a juicy brined green olive or garnish with a cinnamon stick.
