Hilgert Cocktail

Bright and slightly bitter, this cocktail balances the herbaceous dryness of vermouth with a restrained measure of gin, a hint of maraschino sweetness, and a crisp grapefruit tang. Pale and clear in the glass, it’s a light, refined aperitif that’s worth making when you want something elegant and easy-drinking with subtle complexity.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Dry Vermouth
  • 0.75 oz Gin
  • 0.5 tsp Maraschino Cherry Liqueur
  • 1 tsp Grapefruit Juice
  • 1 dash Aromatic Bitters

Instructions

  1. Combine dry vermouth, gin, maraschino liqueur, grapefruit juice, and bitters in a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice cubes.
  2. Secure the lid and shake well until the mixture is chilled.
  3. Strain the liquid into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Serve immediately, without garnish, to enjoy the pure flavor of the cocktail.
