The Velvet Conspiracy
AI-generatedMediumCoupe
A brooding, bittersweet labyrinth where Irish warmth and alpine herbal mystery plot something you won't regret.
Ingredients
- ◆1 1/2 oz irish whiskey
- ◆3/4 oz montenegro amaro
- ◆1/2 oz brandy
- ◆1/4 oz lime juice
- ◆1 dash angostura bitters
- ◆4 fresh leaves mint
Method
- 11. Lightly clap the mint leaves between your palms to wake the oils, then drop them into the shaker.
- 22. Add irish whiskey, montenegro amaro, brandy, lime juice, and angostura bitters.
- 33. Fill with ice and shake hard for 10 seconds — a short shake preserves the bittersweet structure without over-diluting.
- 44. Fine-strain into a chilled coupe, pressing lightly against the strainer to capture any mint while allowing the liquid to flow cleanly.
- 55. Hold the glass up to light and confirm a clear, deep amber before serving.
PRO TIP
Montenegro amaro has a natural orange-peel bitterness that harmonises with lime — if your amaro bottle is freshly opened, reduce lime to 7 ml on the first pour and adjust to taste.
Garnish — mint sprig gently slapped and rested on the rim
