Cocktail

2 oz Tanqueray London Dry Gin3/4 oz Fresh lime juice1/2 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water)6 cubes Ice (for shaking)

Garnish & Serve

1 piece Lime wheel or twist1 piece Lemon or lime peel (optional)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare and chill glass

If desired, chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice water and setting aside while you build the cocktail. Alternatively, place the glass in the freezer for a few minutes.

Measure and combine

Pour 2 oz Tanqueray gin, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake

Add 6 ice cubes to the shaker. Seal and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.

Prepare glass

Discard ice water from the chilled glass (if used) and dry the rim. If you prefer a very cold rim, strain the cocktail into the glass immediately after shaking.

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine-mesh strainer (or a julep strainer) to remove ice shards and pulp.

Garnish & Serve

Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim or express a lime (or lemon) peel over the drink to release oils, then drop the peel into the glass. Serve immediately.
