Being a huge Cynar fan, it fit right in with this Vieux Carre variation. Nicely done.

Shake all ingredients over ice, double strain in sherbet powder rimmed tulip glass.
*Sherbet Powder: 1 tsp citric acid, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp lemon powder, 1/3 cup icing sugar.
Sherbet Fountain is a fizzy, tart, and sweet powder my British mother let me eat when I was a kid that came with a stick of black licorice which was meant to be dipped into the powder and licked off. (Sort of a more sophisticated Fun Dip). This is my homage to that candy.

Add all ingredients into empty shaker, dry shake for 30 seconds, add ice, hard shake for 30 seconds. Fine strain into chilled coup glass. Garnish with orange twist
