Method

How to make Split Ends

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill a clear heavy rocks glass, refrigerate the stout, and cut one coin-sized piece of fresh lemon zest for expressing and discarding.

  2. 02

    Place four fresh raspberries in the base of a shaker and muddle gently until their juice is released without crushing the seeds excessively.

  3. 03

    Measure the Irish whiskey, vermouth amaro, rich simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice into the shaker with the muddled fruit.

  4. 04

    Fill with solid cold ice, shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds, and fine-strain into the chilled rocks glass over fresh clear cubed ice.

  5. 05

    Slowly add exactly 60 ml of cold stout to form a modest natural foam collar; never shake the carbonation.

  6. 06

    Express the coin-sized lemon zest over the surface, discard it, and serve with absolutely no retained garnish.
