Servings:
1 Cocktail
Ingredients
  • 3 ounces gin
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • ½ ounce Lillet blanc
  • 1 lemon slice, for garnish
Directions
  1. Prepare your martini glass by placing it in the freezer, or filling it with ice and placing in the refrigerator.
  2. Meanwhile, add the gin, vodka, and Lillet blanc into a shaker filled with ice. Shake until well-chilled.
  3. Strain cocktail into the chilled martini glass.
  4. Make a lemon twist by cutting off a lemon slice (peel on), about 1 inch in thickness. Cutting carefully with a paring knife, remove the flesh from inside. Cut the peel in the middle, creating a long strip. Then scrape the pith off the inside of the peel. Twist the peel around a straw and hold it for about 2 minutes, until it mostly keeps its shape.
  5. Gently squeeze the oil from the lemon peel over the drink, then run the twist along the rim of the glass. Decorate the glass with the twist.
