Cota No. 2

Erik Ellestad revived the Prohibition-era Cota Cocktail by replacing the now-defunct vermouth-like Hercules with Barolo chinato. The results? “Tasty, if not entirely accurate,” says Ellestad.

1 1/2 oz. dry gin
3/4 oz. barolo chinato
3/4 oz. Cointreau
Ice cubes

Tools: mixing glass, barspoon, strainer

Glass: coupe

Mix ingredients with ice until well chilled and strain into a coupe.
