Method

How to make Especie

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill a coupe and prepare exactly one short narrow lime zest twist.

  2. 02

    Measure the white rum, falernum, chilled water, and two dashes of aromatic bitters into a clean shaker.

  3. 03

    Add solid ice until the shaker is about three-quarters full and seal it firmly.

  4. 04

    Shake firmly for 10–12 seconds so the spiced ingredients integrate without excessive dilution.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so the drink remains clear and free of ice fragments.

  6. 06

    Express the single lime twist over the surface, place it neatly at the rim, and serve immediately.
