Duque Gallego

Ingredients

• Gran Duque de Alba Brandy

• Cedro Pedro Ximénez

• Orange-infused vodka

• Red fruit cordial

Preparation

Start by preparing a shaker with plenty of ice to ensure a vigorous and cold shake. Add 30 ml of Gran Duque de Alba Brandy, whose complexity and aged character provide structure to the cocktail. Next, incorporate 20 ml of Cedro Pedro Ximénez, an aromatic and sweet expression of fortified wine with citrus notes that reinforce the aromatic profile. Then add 20 ml of orange peel-infused vodka, prepared beforehand to extract its essential oils and bring freshness without altering the cocktail’s clarity. Finally, add 15 ml of red fruit cordial, artisanally crafted to offer acidic and fruity notes that balance the warmth of the brandy and the sweetness of the PX.

Once all ingredients are added, shake vigorously for about 10 seconds. Double strain the contents into a pre-chilled coupe glass, ensuring a clean and elegant texture. As a final touch, you can garnish with an orange twist or some fresh red fruits, visually enhancing the cocktail’s identity and completing its aromatic experience.
