Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

    Begin by chilling a cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and letting it sit while you prepare the drink.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of Beefeater gin, 1 oz of Tito's vodka, and 0.5 oz of Lillet Blanc.

  3. 3

    Shake the Mixture

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Discard the ice water from the chilled cocktail glass. Using a strainer, pour the mixture from the shaker into the glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Finish by garnishing with a lemon twist. Express the oils from the lemon peel over the drink and drop it in.
