Rocketry

3⁄4 oz Kirschwasser
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (or ~2 teaspoons fine granulated sugar; Shellenberger calls for 8g)
1 bsp Crème de Violette
1 twst Lemon peel (expressed and discarded)
Instructions

Shake, strain, up, twist.

Notes

Shellenberger redistills his kirsch with chipotle peppers for aromatics; perhaps a chipotle-infused simple syrup here would produce a comparable aroma.
