A black glass with orange peel garnish

24 Hours of Darkness

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ ounce white vermouth
  • ¾ ounce Icelandic aquavit (like Brennivín)
  • ¾ ounce rhubarb apéritif (like Aperol)
  • ¾ ounce fresh grapefruit juice
  • 2 dashes grapefruit bitters like Bittered Sling Grapefruit & Hops
  • grapefruit twist garnish

Instructions
 

  • To a shaker filled with cubed ice, add the vermouth, aquavit, apéritif, grapefruit juice, lemon juice, and bitters. Using some force, shake hard for 5 seconds. Using a small fine-mesh bar sieve to catch the loose ice chips, double strain into a rocks glass filled with cubed ice.
  • For the garnish, use a peeler to remove a nice piece of peel from a washed grapefruit. Cut the sides into a diamond shape. Add a lengthwise slit to the center of the peel, without cutting through to the edges, and rest it on the rim of the glass.
