AMARO SPRITZ

This simple recipe takes the 3-2-1 spritz formula to heart, relying on just three quality ingredients. Amari styles vary wildly in viscosity and flavor, from intensely bitter to lightly sweet and floral, which means different bottles match different moods. To make sure you're always prepared, stock a few of the bitter liqueurs and start drinking. Current favorites include French China-China (spiced, earthy and orange-based), Sicilian Averna (sweet, citrusy), Californian Lo-Fi Gentian Amaro (juicy, floral) and Brooklyn-based Forthave Spirits Marseille Amaro (herbal, with warm spices). To these, add any hyper-regional bottles you've tucked into a suitcase. All spritz nicely, especially when paired with a lime wheel.

High-quality hard apple cider-not the overly sweet stuff you might have had-is one of fall's greatest beverages. Cognac only makes it better.

Provided by Matt Duckor

Time 5m

Yield Makes 1 cocktail

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 ounces chilled hard apple cider, preferably semi-dry
2 ounces cognac
1 (3 x 1/2-inch) strip orange zest
matches

Steps:

  • Pour apple cider and cognac into a Collins glass filled with ice.
  • Light a match, let it burn 2 seconds to get rid of excess sulfur, and hold it 3" over cocktail and 1" away from peel; the outside of the peel should face down, over the drink. Squeeze peel to release oils into drink.
  • Rub flamed peel around rim of glass, then place peel in glass.
