Method
Cocktail
Combine ingredients
Add 2 oz vodka, 0.5 oz dry vermouth, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes orange bitters into a mixing glass or cocktail shaker.
Add ice
Fill the mixing glass or shaker with ice (about 1 cup) to near the brim to ensure rapid chilling and proper dilution.
Stir or shake
If you prefer a silky, clear cocktail, stir the mixture with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted. If you prefer a brighter, slightly more aerated drink, shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds.
Strain
Discard the ice or water from your chilled serving glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine-mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and citrus pulp.
Garnish
Express the lemon twist over the surface of the cocktail to release essential oils, then rub the twist around the rim and drop it into the drink. Optionally add a cocktail cherry on a pick for a touch of color.
Optional finishing
If desired, spray a light spritz of lemon oil over the finished drink for extra aroma. Serve immediately.
