You only live once

This drink is a soft variation on the “Yolanda” recipe. For me it’s a nice “in between” cocktail starting the transition from light highball summer drinks towards next seasons’ drinks with lots of dark spirits. 

You only live once

Ingredients
15 ml Vecchia Romagna (Italian brandy)
15 ml Maria Brizard Anisette
15 ml Beefeater Gin
30 ml Cinzano sweet vermouth
A few drops of grenadine syrup

Method
Shake all ingredients with lots of ice. Strain in a chilled coupe and garnish with a citrus peel. First squeeze it to get some of those wonderful oils on top of your drink.
