Cardamom Merchant
AI-generatedMediumRocks
A brooding, spiced Old World sipper that conjures candlelit bazaars and slow, deliberate conversation.
Ingredients
- ◆1 1/2 oz cognac
- ◆1/2 oz amaretto
- ◆1/2 oz montenegro amaro
- ◆1/4 oz simple syrup
- ◆2 pods, cracked cardamom
- ◆1 dash angostura bitters
Method
- 11. Muddle 2 cracked cardamom pods with simple syrup in the bottom of your shaker.
- 22. Add cognac, amaretto, montenegro amaro, and angostura bitters.
- 33. Fill the shaker with ice and stir slowly for 25–30 seconds — do not shake, to preserve clarity and texture.
- 44. Fine-strain into a rocks glass over a large single ice cube.
- 55. Gently squeeze an orange peel over the surface to release its oils, then lay it on the rim.
PRO TIP
Crack rather than grind the cardamom — cracking releases aromatic oils without flooding the drink with gritty bitterness that straining can't fully remove.
Garnish — orange peel on rim
