Cocktail

2 oz gin (preferably Plymouth or London dry)1/2 oz yellow chartreuse1/4 oz dry vermouth1 dash angostura bitters6 cube ice (for shaking and chilling)1 twist lemon peel (for garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass

Place a chilled coupe or martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure it is well chilled.

Combine ingredients

Add 2 oz gin, 1/2 oz yellow Chartreuse, 1/4 oz dry vermouth, and 1 dash Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker or mixing glass.

Add ice and chill

Fill the shaker or mixing glass with ice (about 4–6 large cubes).

Stir or shake

Stir briskly for about 20–30 seconds if using a mixing glass to properly chill and dilute the drink. If you prefer a slightly more aerated texture, shake vigorously for 8–10 seconds, then double-strain into the chilled glass.

Strain

Fine-strain or double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass, leaving ice behind.

Garnish

Express the lemon peel over the drink by holding it skin-side down above the glass and giving it a firm twist to release oils. Rim the glass lightly with the peel and drop it in as a garnish.
