The Monday Reset
INGREDIENTS
- 1½ oz Bourbon (something mellow and oaky)
- ¾ oz Amaro Montenegro (or Aperol for a lighter touch)
- ½ oz Lavender simple syrup
- ½ oz Fresh lemon juice
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- Club soda (optional, for a fizzy lift)
- Lemon twist or sprig of lavender (for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
Add bourbon, Amaro, lavender syrup, lemon juice, and bitters to a shaker with ice. Shake gently until chilled (you’ve already had a rough day, no need to overdo it). Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Top with a splash of club soda if you want something a little brighter. Garnish with a lemon twist or lavender sprig. Sink into your couch and let the decompression begin.
