Aeaea

character:

Circe

liquor:

bourbon

source:

DC Comics

Named for the island where Circe lives, the Aeaea is a cocktail that may look unassumingly sweet and harmless, but is distinctly more powerful than that. Inspired by the ‘Manhattan’ as well as modern twists on classic drinks like the ‘Boulevardier’ and the ‘Little Italy’, it combines the bold and complex flavors of bourbon with zesty, bittersweet Aperol and smooth, toasty amaretto. Add lemon for brightness and a splash of soda for fizz, and this elixir will have both men and Wonder Woman turning into pigs🐷🔮

Ingredients

  • 2 oz bourbon (I used Bulleit)

  • 1 oz Aperol

  • 1 oz Disaronno (or other amaretto liqueur)

  • Juice of ¼ lemon

  • Club soda

  • Lemon twist, for garnish

Tools & Supplies

  • coupe glass (or martini glass)

  • jigger

  • cocktail shaker

  • citrus juicer

  • peeler or paring knife

Preparation

Add all ingredients except club soda and garnish to a shaker filled with ice. Shake until well chilled and strain into a coupe glass. Top with a splash of club soda and garnish with lemon twist.


Enjoy responsibly. Salute! 🥂
