Opera Cocktail Recipe

Opera Cocktail

The Opera cocktail is a mixture of gin, Dubonnet and maraschino liqueur. The Dobonnet smooths the gin while the maraschino makes it sweater. The Opera cocktail is one of those old classic cocktails that doesn’t get much attention these days.

  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. Gin
  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. Dubonnet Red
  • 7,5 ml/ ¼ oz. maraschino liqueur

METHOD

  2. Fine strain into chilled glass.
