1. 01

   Chill a heavy rocks glass, prepare one large clear ice cube, and cut one narrow lemon peel long enough for a tidy pigtail twist.

   Measure the genever, quinquina, and honey syrup into a mixing glass, then count exactly fourteen small drops of mole bitters.

3. 03

   Fill the mixing glass with solid ice and stir for 20–25 seconds until very cold and properly diluted.

4. 04

   Place the large fresh cube in the chilled rocks glass and strain the cocktail over it.

5. 05

   Shape the narrow lemon peel into a loose pigtail curl and place it neatly without covering the drink or projecting beyond the glass.

6. 06

   Confirm the cube and garnish are stable, wipe the glass, and serve immediately.
