Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.Two Fridays ago, I sought out the evening's cocktail on the Bartender's Choice app. There, I was lured in by Zac Pease's Aunt Eleanor that he crafted at My Friend Duke in Manhattan circa 2018 as a variation on a Perfect Martini. Once prepared, the Aunt Eleanor proffered a lemon, pine, and grape aroma. Next, grape and orchard fruit on the sip flowed into gin, fruity, and herbal flavors on the swallow.
