Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling your glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of Portofino Gin, 1 oz of Contratto Bitter, and 1 oz of Lo-Fi Dry Vermouth.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes to the top to ensure proper chilling of the mixture.

  4. 4

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Remove the ice water from your chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass using a fine mesh strainer.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Twist a piece of lemon peel over the drink to release its oils and then drop it in as a garnish.
