Restraining Order
This clever drink by bartender Colin Shearn from Jason Wilson’s excellent book Boozehound is worth making just so you can tell people you’re serving them with a Restraining Order. Ha! Shearn calls for Aperol, the sweetest and most agreeable type of bitter orange apéritif.
The orange peel is a critical part of the drink’s flavor profile, so we’ve included it in the ingredients list here (unlike most garnishes, which we generally consider optional).
Ingredients
- 1½ parts Aged tequila
- ¾ part Sweet orange apéritif
- 4 dashes Celery bitters
- 1 piece Orange peel
Instructions
Stir the first three ingredients with ice, and strain into an ice-filled short glass. Twist the orange peel over the drink, and tuck it into the side of the glass.
