Cocktail of the Week: The Soprano

1 1/2 oz. Absolut Elyx vodka

3/4 oz. Aperol Italian Aperitif

3/4 oz. St-Germain elderflower liqueur

2 dashes Bitter Truth orange bitters

Twisted orange peel for garnish

Method

The Soprano is ideal for vodka enthusiasts, TV-mafia aficionados and anyone who appreciates a stiff, well-crafted cocktail. Absolut Elyx is a luxurious, silky-smooth vodka created from single-estate wheat in Sweden. When combined with Aperol and St-Germain, two classic cocktail staples, and a dash of orange bitters, these ingredients create a drink that is deliciously powerful — in both flavor and potency.
