KENTUCKY MONK

SERVES 2

This cocktail celebrates all of CRU’s Kat Dunn’s favorite things in a glass. “The name seemed obvious, as Bulleit is a Kentucky bourbon and both the Green Chartreuse and Benedictine are made by monks. The Aperol: just delicious.”

INGREDIENTS

3½ ounces Bulleit Bourbon (or bourbon of your choice)

1¾ ounces Green Chartreuse

1 ounce Benedictine

1½ ounces Aperol

2 strips grapefruit zest, plus 2 strips grapefruit zest, twisted, for garnish

1 dash orange bitters

Stir all ingredients with ice (to fill) in a crystal mixing glass for 45 rotations. Using a julep strainer, strain into a tableside shaker. Pour into a coupe glass, garnish with a long grapefruit twist, splash orange bitters on each and serve.
