    Prepare the Glass

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

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of Old Tom gin, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, 3 dashes of Peychaud's bitters, 2 dashes of orange bitters, 1 tsp of simple syrup, and 0.5 oz of fresh lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Add Ice and Shake

    Fill the shaker with 1 cup of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Empty the ice water from the chilled cocktail glass. Using a strainer, pour the mixed cocktail into the glass.
