Method

How to make Neon Knight

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one clear coupe, chill the tonic water separately, and cut exactly one short narrow orange zest twist.

  2. 02

    Measure 40 ml manzanilla sherry and 10 ml each of mezcal, blue curaçao, pineapple liqueur, gentian liqueur, and white bitter aperitif into a mixing glass; keep the tonic separate.

  3. 03

    Fill the mixing glass about three-quarters full with solid cold ice and stir until thoroughly chilled and diluted.

  4. 04

    Strain the non-carbonated mixture into the chilled coupe so no ice fragments enter the glass.

  5. 05

    Slowly add 10 ml chilled tonic water and give the drink one very gentle lift with a bar spoon.

  6. 06

    Express the single orange twist over the surface, affix it neatly at the rim, and serve without another garnish.
