Instructions

Celebrating the suave steadiness of the Continental's concierge, Charon, The Continental Caretaker is a sophisticated and balanced cocktail with a robust depth of flavor, reflecting the character’s multifaceted role in the John Wick series. Elegantly served in a chilled coupe glass, it offers a nod to tradition while embracing a modern edge. Ingredients: - 2 oz Aged Bourbon - 1/2 oz Amaro Nonino - 1/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino liqueur - 2 Dashes of Orange Bitters - 1 Dash of Angostura Bitters - 1/2 oz Espresso Reduction - Gold leaf for garnish (representing the Continental's luxury) - Wide orange zest for garnish Espresso Reduction: - 1 cup freshly brewed espresso - 1/2 cup brown sugar Instructions for Espresso Reduction: 1. Combine espresso and brown sugar in a small saucepan. 2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the mixture is reduced by half and has a syrup-like consistency. Allow to cool. Cocktail Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, Amaro Nonino, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, orange bitters, Angostura bitters, and espresso reduction. 2. Fill the glass with ice and stir the contents until well chilled. 3. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass. 4. Carefully float a small piece of gold leaf atop the drink for a touch of elegance. 5. Express the orange zest over the drink to release its oils and then rim the edge of the glass with it for an aromatic accent. Optionally, twist the zest and place it in the glass as a final garnish. The Continental Caretaker offers an aromatic complexity with the bitterness of the amaro and the bitters balanced against the sweet richness of the espresso reduction and the herbal notes of the maraschino liqueur. The aged bourbon anchors the concoction with its smoky vanilla undertones, while the gold leaf garnish provides a luxurious visual treat to honor the esteemed concierge of the Continental Hotel.
