1
Chill glass
Place a cocktail (martini) glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink to chill it.
2
Mix
Fill a mixing glass or cocktail shaker with the ice cubes. Pour in 2 oz gin, 0.5 oz dry vermouth, and add 2 dashes of orange bitters.
3
Stir
Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture briskly for about 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 full revolutions) until well chilled and properly diluted.
4
Strain & Serve
Dump the ice or remove the chilled glass from the freezer. Using a Hawthorne or julep strainer, strain the cocktail into the chilled glass.
5
Garnish
Express the oils of a lemon twist over the surface by holding the twist skin-side down above the glass and giving it a quick squeeze, then rub the rim with the twist and drop it into the drink.
