Mixing the Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixing Glass

    Fill a mixing glass with ice cubes. Ensure the glass is adequately chilled before mixing.

  2. 2

    Pour in 2 oz of dry gin, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, 0.5 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 oz of simple syrup into the mixing glass.

  3. 3

    Add Bitters

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters and 2 dashes of orange bitters to the mixing glass.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture for about 30 seconds until well chilled and combined.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass, ensuring no ice makes it into the final drink.

    Garnish and Serve

    Twist a piece of lemon peel over the drink to release oils, then drop it in as a garnish. Serve immediately.
