The Icebox Martini Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Chill the Glass

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

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Blue Rook Manchester X Paddock Bourbon Club gin and 0.5 oz of dry vermouth.

3. 3

   Stir with Ice

   Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute.

4. 4

   Strain into Glass

   Empty the ice water from the chilled martini glass. Using a strainer, pour the mixture from the mixing glass into the martini glass.

5. 5

   Prepare the Lemon Twist

   Using a vegetable peeler or a knife, cut a thin slice of lemon peel. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
