Original Cocktail: The Apparition

Annnnd, I'm back. Election Depression Hibernation is officially over.

Here's an old Revival menu cocktail that had a good run. It's a snappy little drink that doesn't care what season it is, or what the weather is like.  Yea, that's right. It's pink. You can deal with it, pinkies up!


- the Apparition-

1.5 oz Aquavit (we used Krogstad)
.5 oz fresh lemon
.5 oz off dry Riesling *
.5 oz Luxardo maraschino
2 dashes Peychauds bitters

Shake with ice, double strain into coupe. Garnish with a twist of lemon.


*Most of us just don't have a bottle of Riesling open in the fridge, and you'll get more than acceptable results using Lillet or Cocchi Americano.
