Trident Cocktail
By Robert Hess
Ones own cocktail recipes are often derived from classics that have come before. The Negroni, equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and Campari, is one such classic that continues to inspire. Thus was the case when Robert created the Trident Cocktail.
Recipe
Ingredients
1 oz Aquavit
1 oz Cynar
1 oz Dry Sherry
2 dashes Peach Bitters
Instructions
Stir with ice.
Strain into a cocktail glass.
Garnish with a lemon twist.

I know that the Peach Bitters were the “key” ingredient, but not having any, and being one to enjoy a Negroni, I had to try it without them. Fortunately I had the other ingredients. Quite nice!
Cynar is a good “replacement” for those not yet “into” Campari”; which took me a while to “get into” but I now enjoy it.
Glad you enjoyed the drink!
Yes, you can easily make this drink without the Peach Bitters, although if you compare the two side by side I think you’ll definately see that the Peach Bitters adds a nice note to it.
Hello Robert, I have been watching your videos for some time now. Recently my wife and I visited Seattle from Vancouver and I made a point of visiting the Zig Zag Cafe since you have mentioned it in a number of your videos. I ordered the Trident and I must say it was one of the most unique and delicious drinks I have had. Well done sir…now I will begin my long and arduous journey to find Aquavit and Cynar.
An aside to any other readers…the Zig Zag is a great place to go for drinks if you are around the Pike Place Market in the evening…great atmosphere and really well made drinks!
