1
Chill glass
Place a coupe or martini-style glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the drink.
2
Add Old Tom gin, sweet vermouth, maraschino liqueur, and orange bitters to a mixing glass.
3
Fill the mixing glass with ice (enough to come near the top) and stir the mixture for about 30–40 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted (watch for the mixing glass to frost on the outside).
4
Discard ice or water from the chilled serving glass. Strain the cocktail from the mixing glass into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a julep or Hawthorne strainer (fine strainer optional for extra clarity).
5
Express the oils of a lemon twist over the surface of the cocktail by holding the twist skin-side down about 2–3 inches above the drink and giving it a quick pinch. Rub the peel around the rim of the glass and drop it into the drink as a garnish.
6
If desired, add a single dash of aromatic bitters on top of the finished cocktail for aroma and complexity.
