Method
How to make Companion
Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.
- 01
Pre-chill one clear Nick & Nora glass and select exactly one small fresh mint leaf for garnish.
- 02
Place six whole black peppercorns in the base of a shaker and muddle firmly enough to crack them and release their aroma.
- 03
Add 50 ml white rum, 10 ml dry vermouth, 10 ml smooth pear purée, 15 ml honey syrup, and 20 ml fresh lemon juice.
- 04
Fill the shaker with solid cold ice, seal firmly, and shake hard for 10–12 seconds until thoroughly chilled.
- 05
Fine-strain into the chilled Nick & Nora glass so no pepper fragments, pear fibers, or ice chips enter the drink.
- 06
Float the single small mint leaf flat at the center and serve without pear, peppercorns, citrus, or another garnish.
