Method

How to make El Viajero

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill a clear coupe, apply only a very light fine coconut dusting to one small outside section, and cut one short lime twist.

  2. 02

    Measure the white rum, coconut water, Pedro Ximenez sherry, fresh lime juice, rich syrup, and chocolate bitters into a throwing tin.

  3. 03

    Add solid cold ice and throw the mixture carefully between tins until chilled and lightly aerated.

  4. 04

    Stop once the drink is integrated and properly diluted, avoiding the heavy aeration of a hard shake.

  5. 05

    Strain into the chilled prepared coupe without adding ice to the serving glass.

  6. 06

    Express the lime oils, rest exactly one compact twist at the rim, and serve without additional garnish.
