The Copper Dusk

AI-generatedChallengingRocks

A brooding, aromatic sipper with a frothy crown that settles into something hauntingly smooth.


Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 oz brandy
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 1 oz egg white
  • 4 dashes angostura bitters
  • 3/4 oz club soda

Method

  1. 11. Combine brandy, simple syrup, egg white, and angostura bitters in a shaker without ice.
  2. 22. Dry shake hard for 20 seconds to fully emulsify the egg white with the bitters.
  3. 33. Add ice and shake again for 12 seconds until well chilled.
  4. 44. Double-strain into a chilled rocks glass over one large ice cube.
  5. 55. Float the club soda gently over the back of a spoon to lift and aerate the foam.
  6. 66. Add a final dash of bitters directly onto the foam surface.

PRO TIP

Four dashes of bitters may seem bold but the egg white tames the spice — trust it, and use Angostura's natural sweetness to reduce the simple syrup if you prefer a drier finish.

Garnish — expressed orange peel — if available, or none
