Go Back

Archangel

Jennifer Tyldesley
This cocktail was created in 2006 by Michael McIlroy and Richard Boccato of NYC’s Milk & Honey. It is inspired by pink gin, another one of my favourite libations. It’s a strong drink and, as you might suspect, it is bitter. I have increased that attribute with the addition of some Fireweed Bitters.

Instructions
 

  • Add Aperol and cucumber to a mixing glass. Muddle the ingredients together (remember my May column about muddled cocktails? If you don’t have a muddler, you can use the back of a wooden spoon to bruise the cucumber).
