Marasca Acida

By BobD

Kirsch (cherry eau-de-vie) gives this tart and refreshing cocktail an earthy, fruity flavor, and the bright orange, pleasingly bitter Aperol creates its lovely coral color.

Ingredients

• Ice
• 1 1/2 ounces kirsch
• 3/4 ounce Aperol (bitter orange Italian aperitif)
• 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 ounce Simple Syrup
• 1 spiral-cut orange twist, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add all of the remaining ingredients except the garnish and shake well. Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass and garnish with the orange twist.
