The Trident is a modern cocktail that was created by Robert Hess at the Zig Zag Cafe in Seattle, Washington. Described as a reinterpretation of the classic Negroni, the recipe follows the equal-parts template, but it swaps out its three flavor profiles for similar ingredients from seafaring countries—aquavit, sherry, and Cynar— and it pairs them with stone fruit bitters and citrus.
Add aquavit, fino sherry, Cynar, and peach bitters to a mixing glass.
Fill mixing glass with cubed ice.
Using a bar spoon, stir for 30-45 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Using a julep strainer, strain into a Nick & Nora glass.
Garnish with lemon peel.
