Method

How to make Almond Brother

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill a coupe thoroughly; the original presentation is intentionally ungarnished.

  2. 02

    Measure the reposado tequila, amaretto, apricot liqueur, fresh lime juice, orgeat, and maple syrup into a shaker.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker with solid cold ice and seal it securely.

  4. 04

    Shake hard until the drink is very cold and the maple syrup and orgeat are completely dispersed.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe, keeping the surface clean and free of ice chips.

  6. 06

    Serve immediately with no garnish so the tequila, apricot, and almond aromas remain the focus.
