1
Chill glass
Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
2
Prepare citrus
Roll a fresh lemon on the countertop with light pressure to loosen oils, then cut a thin strip for the twist.
3
Mix
Fill a mixing glass or cocktail shaker with the listed ice (about 1 cup). Add 1.5 oz dry gin, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 0.5 oz orange curaçao, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 2 dashes orange bitters and 1 dash Angostura bitters.
4
Stir
Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full rotations) until the outside of the mixing glass feels very cold and slightly frosted. Stirring chills and dilutes without aerating.
5
Prepare glass for serving
Discard ice water from the chilled glass if used. If you prefer, run the lemon twist around the rim to impart aroma.
6
Strain
Double-strain (use a Hawthorne or julep strainer and a fine mesh if desired) the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass to remove small ice shards and any pulp.
7
Garnish & serve
Express the lemon twist over the drink by holding it skin-side down and giving it a quick twist to spray oils onto the surface, then drop or neatly place the twist on the rim. Serve immediately.
