Instructions

**Description:** The Twilight Samurai is a bold, innovative cocktail that bridges East and West, incorporating the delicate complexity of sake with the mysterious depths of absinthe. This cocktail combines the bright, floral notes of green chartreuse and the rich, subtle sweetness of honey, balanced with a touch of citrus from lemon juice and the complexity of amaro liqueur. The absinthe rinse adds an ethereal layer, evoking the dusky moments between day and night, much like the silent vigil of a samurai at twilight. Finished with a hint of lemon bitters for an extra layer of brightness, this drink is a poetic expression in a glass. **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Sake - 0.5 oz Green Chartreuse Liqueur - 0.25 oz Amaro Liqueur - 0.5 oz Honey (diluted with an equal part of warm water to make a syrup) - 0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 3 Dashes Lemon Bitters - Absinthe (for rinse) - Ice **Glass:** Coupette **Instructions:** 1. Begin by chilling your coupette glass. Once chilled, pour a small amount of absinthe into the glass. Swirl to coat the inside of the glass, then discard the excess absinthe. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the sake, green chartreuse, amaro liqueur, honey syrup, and fresh lemon juice. 3. Add the lemon bitters and fill the shaker with ice. 4. Shake vigorously until well-chilled. 5. Strain the mixture into the absinthe-rinsed coupette glass. 6. Garnish with a twist of lemon peel, expressing the oils over the drink before dropping it in. **Note:** The Twilight Samurai is a cocktail that speaks to the soul, offering layers of flavor that are both contemplative and invigorating. Its elegant presentation and depth of flavor make it perfect for the end of the day or the beginning of a memorable night.
