The Backstory cocktail – Episode 6: Glorious Beginning
Inspired by Jason Bentley’s chat with Casey Affleck and Kathryn Scanlan, Glorious Beginning is a refreshing drink with a hint of bitterness
Ingredients
1.5 parts D’USSÉ VSOP
1/3 part Martini & Rossi Bitter please style up 1/3 as a fraction
¾ part fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp orange marmalade
1/3 part egg white please style up 1/3 as a fraction
Orange peel for garnish
Method
Add all the ingredients to a shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a cocktail glass and
garnish with orange peel.
Tip: once shaken with ice, pour the cocktail back in the shaker and shake it again without ice to create a greater foam on top.
