Kina Miele

from PDT

• 1 oz. Dolin Dry Vermouth
• .75 oz. Cocchi Americano
• .5 oz. Nonino Gioiello
• .25 oz. Clear Creek Pear Brandy
• 1 dash The Bitter Truth Lemon Bitters

Stir with ice and strain over one large cube into a chilled rocks glass. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.

Kina alludes to "quinquinas," which employ quinine as the primary bittering agent. Miele is Italian for honey, the base of Nonino's brilliant honey distillate. —Sean Hoard, Summer 2010
