Method

How to make Gilroy Cocktail

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Chill the coupe thoroughly, confirm that no garnish is required, and ready the shaker.

  2. 02

    Measure cherry liqueur, gin, dry vermouth, lemon juice, orange bitters accurately and add them to a clean cocktail shaker.

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid ice cubes and seal it firmly.

  4. 04

    Pre-chill a coupe. Add the cherry liqueur, gin, dry vermouth, fresh lemon juice, and one dash of orange bitters to a shaker with solid ice. Shake firmly for 10–15 seconds until very cold, fine-strain into the chilled coupe, allow coarse bubbles to settle, and serve without garnish.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so no small ice fragments reach the drink.

  6. 06

    Serve immediately without a garnish while the drink is at its best.
