Method
How to make Meridian
Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.
- 01
Pre-chill one clear Nick and Nora glass and cut exactly one very short narrow lemon zest twist.
- 02
Measure the aquavit, rosato vermouth, fresh lemon juice, honey syrup, and one scant dash of orange flower water into a shaker.
- 03
Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice and seal it securely.
- 04
Shake briskly for 10–12 seconds until the floral mixture is very cold and properly diluted.
- 05
Fine-strain into the chilled glass so no small ice fragments interrupt the blush-gold surface.
- 06
Express the single compact lemon twist, retain it neatly at the rim, and serve without another garnish.
