Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Start by chilling your martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, vodka, Lillet Blanc, and ice. Use a jigger for precise measurements.

  3. 3

    Shake or Stir

    You can either shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds or stir it gently for about 30 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Empty the ice water from your chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass using a fine mesh strainer.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Twist a lemon peel over the drink to release its oils and drop it into the cocktail as a garnish.
