Method
Cocktail
Prepare cocktail
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 2 oz gin, 0.75 oz Stella (elderflower-lime syrup), 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz dry vermouth, and 2 dashes orange bitters to the shaker.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the exterior of the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted. This both chills and dilutes the cocktail to the proper balance.
Strain
Double strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and small pulp bits.
Garnish & Serve
Express the oils from a lime twist over the drink by holding the twist over the surface and gently pinching it so the oils spray across the cocktail. Rub the rim with the lime if desired and drop the twist into the glass or place a lime wheel on the rim.
Optionally float an edible flower on the surface for visual impact. Serve immediately.
