Jesse Medlong's 2018 stirred drink combines aquavit and dry sherry with yellow Chartreuse, Velvet Falernum and sage syrup. It is herbal and dry, with a little sweetness from the syrup. Orange bitters, an orange wedge and a cranberry finish it in a rocks glass.

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir until well-chilled.
  2. Strain into a rocks glass containing one large ice cube.
  3. For the garnish, take an orange wedge and make two intersecting cuts from the pulp to the peel without cutting through entirely.
  4. Tuck a candied cranberry inside the pocket created by the cuts and secure both with a skewer.
  5. To enhance the presentation, include a strip of crispy turkey skin alongside.
  6. This cocktail relies heavily on its precise ingredient balance; omitting any components can significantly alter its character.
  7. While some substitutions might work, others could result in an overly greasy or medicinal taste.
