Rinsing the glass with absinthe before filling adds a pleasant anise-flavored note to this gin, vermouth, and Aperol cocktail from Sas Stewart of Stonecutter Spirits
Stir together gin, Aperol, and sweet and dry vermouth with ice in a cocktail shaker for 8 to 12 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe glass rinsed with absinthe. Top with a skewered orange peel and fresh cranberry.
