Method

How to make Rosina

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill a clear coupe and leave the garnish station empty because the reviewed recipe has no retained garnish.

  2. 02

    Measure the rouge quinquina, dry gin, mezcal, and one dash plum bitters into a mixing glass.

  3. 03

    Fill the mixing glass with solid cold ice and stir smoothly for 20–25 seconds.

  4. 04

    Taste a small sample to confirm the drink is cold, integrated, and sufficiently diluted.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so all mixing ice stays behind.

  6. 06

    Serve the clear copper-red cocktail immediately with no fruit, herb, or other retained garnish.
