Method

How to make Accoutrement

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill a coupe and drain exactly one small cocktail cherry onto one short plain pick.

  2. 02

    Measure the Calvados, Italian yellow herbal liqueur, orange curaçao, fresh lemon juice, and two dashes of Creole-style bitters into a shaker.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid ice and seal it firmly.

  4. 04

    Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the citrus and liqueurs are fully integrated and cold.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so no small ice or citrus fragments reach the drink.

  6. 06

    Rest the single picked cherry neatly at the rim as the only accoutrement and serve immediately.
