If you haven’t yet bought a copy of Sasha Petraske’s book Regarding Cocktails, then do it now. It’s full of exquisite cocktails created by Sasha and the many renowned bartenders who worked and learned with him at Milk and Honey.
Too Soon was created by Sam Ross (Attaboy, New York and creator of the world-famous Penicillin) and features the underrated Cynar, an aperativo that I’ve been learning to love. This bitter-sweet Italian liqueur is made with 13 herbs and botanicals, with artichoke being the predominant flavour. Don’t that put you off though! This cocktail is deliciously fresh with sweetness of the orange balanced nicely with the Cynar.
Ingredients for a Too Soon
30ml gin
30ml Cynar
22 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
15ml simple syrup
2 thin slices of orange
Method
Shake all the ingredients in an ice-filled shaker until cold. Strain into a chilled coupe.
Enjoy!
