Shake and open pour into glass. Top with ice and garnish.<br> <br> This is a crowd pleaser no matter how many tiki drinks you've tried: safe enough for newcomers, but the aquavit delivers something interesting to those who've had them all.

Chris RuppelTRIDENT<br> <br> 1 oz Cynar<br> 1 oz Fino sherry<br> 1 oz aquavit<br> 2 dashes bitters<br> <br> Garnish: lemon twist<br> Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir. Strain into a chilled coupe. Express lemon peel and use as garnish.<br> <br> Follows the Negroni template, but is really out there. The recipe calls for peach bitters but the best I have is Havana Club Island Fruit, and it worked really well too.<br> <br> 🔗 <a href="https://potentpotables.app/drinks/trident/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://potentpotables.app/drinks/trident/</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alcohol?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktails?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktails</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cynar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cynar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/amaro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amaro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/finoSherry?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#finoSherry</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sherry?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sherry</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/aquavit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aquavit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bitters?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bitters</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lemon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lemon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/garnish?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garnish</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/homeBar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeBar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/servedUp?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#servedUp</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fedithirst?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedithirst</a>
Chris RuppelWINTER BASIL SMASH<br> <br> handful fresh basil<br> 1 oz lemon juice<br> ¾ oz simple syrup<br> 2 oz aquavit<br> <br> Garnish: basil leaf<br> Method: Set aside one basil leaf as garnish. In a shaker, muddle remaining basil leaves with lemon juice and simple syrup. Add aquavit and ice cubes, shake, and double strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice cubes.<br> <br> An interesting riff on the Gin Basil Smash, it's refreshing yet has a touch of warming notes from the aquavit. Don't be scared off by the two full shots. This one is balanced nicely by the generous amounts of lemon and simple. I had Thai basil on hand when I took the photo and I thought it worked well in the cocktail, even though the spec calls for the Italian variety. I first saw this one on IG from theeducatedbarfly. <br> <br> 🔗 <a href="https://potentpotables.app/drinks/winter-basil-smash/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://potentpotables.app/drinks/winter-basil-smash/</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alcohol?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktails?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktails</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ginBasilSmash?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ginBasilSmash</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/riff?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riff</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/basil?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#basil</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lemon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lemon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/juice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#juice</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/simpleSyrup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simpleSyrup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/aquavit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aquavit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/basilLeaf?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#basilLeaf</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/garnish?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garnish</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/homeBar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeBar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fedithirst?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedithirst</a>
