PROCESS AND CONTROLS
Glassware Prep: Chill glass in refrigerator, or fill with ice and soda water. Dispose of ice before pouring drink.
Integration: Combine all ingredients in a shaker. Shake and double strain into coupe. Garnish with lemon twist.

REPUTATION PREMIUM STRATEGY
• Measure precisely.
• Peel swath of lemon always from stem to base
• Shake vigorously. “Don’t put the drink to sleep… wake it up!”
• Sunset: To give this cocktail an extra level of extravagance, based on it’s name, try drizzling the Aperol over the other shaken and strained components already in your glass.

RISK MANAGEMENT
No Aperol: Substitute ½ oz Campari and ½ oz simple syrup if Aperol is not available.
No FEW American Whiskey: Any Bourbon can be used as a replacement. I recommend Buffalo Trace or Four Roses. Rye, aged rums or Cognac could also be a quite pleasing alternative.
