Cocktail of the week: Three Sheets’ cherry americano – recipe | The good mixer
Share:
A negroni-style premix that you can prep ahead so it’s ready to rustle up on a Friday night. This premix is brilliant for a crowd, and it’s also a celebration of every right-thinking bartender’s favourite garnish: the glorious maraschino cherry. Fabbri makes the best, but if you can’t find those, Luxardo is a good alternative.
For the premix (makes 300ml, to serve 5-6). 125ml Vergano Americano, or Campari. 25ml syrup from a jar of maraschino cherries (see above). 125ml sweet white wine. 2-3 drops Angostura bitters. 25ml standard sugar syrup. 1g salt (about ⅙ tsp). 5ml apple cider vinegar.
For the drink. 50-60ml americano mix – see above and method. Soda water, to top. 1 fresh bay leaf, to garnish. First make the premix. Measure everything into a large bowl, stir to combine, then decant into a clean bottle, seal and store in the fridge. It will now keep happily for at least a month.
When you want to serve the drink, pour 50-60ml of the americano mix into a highball glass filled with ice, then top with cold soda water. Scrunch up the bay leaf to release its oils and aroma, drop into the drink and serve. Max and Noel Venning, Three Sheets, London W1.
