Recipe:

• 2 oz Gin (4bells uses a gin blend, featuring Letherbee)
• 1 oz Aperol
• 1 oz Grapefruit Cordial *
• Juice from 2 Lime Wedges (about ¼ oz)

* To Make Grapefruit Cordial:

Add the zest of 2 grapefruits to a bowl with a large base, or a plate.  Generously sprinkle granulated white sugar over the zest; enough to cover it.  Cover the plate or bowl with plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, and up to for 24 hours.

Then, in a saucepan, combine the grapefruit maceration with 2 parts grapefruit juice and ½ part lime juice.  Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and chill in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Finally, strain through cheesecloth; use immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin, over ice.  Shake for 12 seconds.  Strain into Collins glass filled with ice; top with soda, and add a lime twist for garnish.
