Method

How to make Time Release

Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.

  1. 01

    Pre-chill one clear coupe and drain exactly one small dark cocktail cherry for a short plain pick.

  2. 02

    Measure 45 ml London dry gin, 30 ml white port, 15 ml sloe gin, and 7.5 ml yellow herbal liqueur into a mixing glass.

  3. 03

    Fill the mixing glass with solid cold ice and place a bar spoon against the inside wall.

  4. 04

    Stir smoothly for 20–25 seconds until the rose-gold cocktail is very cold and properly diluted.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so the still surface remains clear and free of ice fragments.

    Skewer the single cherry on one short plain pick, rest it neatly at the rim, and serve without another garnish.
