Gin Martini

1 . Stage

Pre-chill your glasses: Pre-chill your serving and mixing glasses, if possible, by placing in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand, or “charging” the glass by filling it with ice and topping off with water, for an even quicker chill.

2 . Stage

Combine ingredients into your mixing glass: Add the gin, vermouth, and orange bitters to a mixing glass with ice. Stir between 20 to 30 seconds at most.

3 . Stage

Strain the martini: Strain cocktail into a chilled coupe, Nick & Nora, or martini glass.

4 . Stage

Garnish and serve: Twist the lemon peel over the glass to “express” its oils into the drink, improving the nose and acidity, and set on the edge of the glass.
