Method
Prepare and assemble
- 1
Chill glass
Place the rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and cold water while you prepare the drink to ensure it is well chilled.
- 2
Juice and prep garnish
If not already done, squeeze fresh lemon juice and strain to remove pulp. Cut a lemon twist (wide enough to express oils) and set aside.
- 3
Build the cocktail
In a mixing glass or shaker filled with plenty of ice, pour in the gin (2 oz), dry vermouth (0.5 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.5 oz), simple syrup (0.25 oz) and add 2 dashes of orange bitters. Stir vigorously for 20–30 seconds until the outside of the mixing glass is very cold and the mixture is well diluted and slightly diluted (about 20–25% dilution by temperature and timing).
- 4
Prepare glass and ice
Discard the chilling ice/water from the rocks glass. Drop in 1 or 2 large clear ice cubes to fill most of the glass.
- 5
Strain and finish
Double-strain the mixed cocktail over the large ice cubes in the chilled rocks glass using a Hawthorne and fine strainer (or just a Hawthorne if you don't have a fine one) so the drink is clear of small chips or pulp.
