Instructions

Description: A captivating concoction that marries the bitter elegance of cinchona bark with the zesty freshness of citrus. This cocktail delivers a sophisticated bitterness underpinned by a delicate hint of citrus notes, while the aroma of the cinchona tree lingers in the background, paying homage to the quinine's origin. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Gin (preferably one with a botanical profile) - 0.5 oz Campari - 0.25 oz Quinquina (cinchona bark-infused aperitif wine) - 0.5 oz Fresh lemon juice - 0.25 oz Simple syrup (optional, to balance bitterness) - 2-3 dashes of Orange bitters - 3 oz Tonic water - Lemon twist and a sprig of fresh thyme for garnish Glass: Serve in a chilled Collins glass Instructions: 1. Fill the Collins glass with ice to chill it while you mix the drink. 2. In a mixing glass, combine the gin, Campari, and quinquina. 3. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and, if needed, add simple syrup to achieve the desired balance between bitterness and sweetness. 4. Add the orange bitters to bring out the citrus nuances. 5. Stir the mixture gently to combine the flavors, then discard the ice from the Collins glass. 6. Strain the mixture into the chilled Collins glass filled with fresh ice cubes. 7. Top the drink with tonic water, gently stirring to integrate while preserving the carbonation. 8. Express the lemon twist over the drink to release the citrus oils before dropping it in. 9. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme to accentuate the aromatics akin to the cinchona tree, gently bruising the leaves to release their scent. 10. Serve immediately, inviting your guest to take a journey through the bittersweet twilight accompanied by a quinine-inspired ambiance.
