- 2 oz Lillet Blanc
- 1.5 oz London dry gin
- 0.75 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.5 oz Simple syrup
- 3 dashes Orange bitters
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lemon twist
Instructions
Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice and cold water while preparing the drink.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the Lillet Blanc, gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and orange bitters.
Add a cup of ice cubes to the shaker and seal it tightly.
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture thoroughly.
Discard the ice and water from the chilled glass.
Strain the cocktail into the glass using a fine mesh strainer to catch any ice shards or pulp.
Garnish with a lemon twist by holding it over the drink, giving it a gentle twist to release its oils, and then placing it on the rim or floating it on the surface.
Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!
