Ingredients
- 45 ml Gin
- 22.5 ml Lillet Blanc
- 15 ml Crème de cacao (white)
- 22.5 ml Lemon juice
- Garnish Lemon twist
Preparation
- Shake all ingredients with ice.
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
- Garnish with lemon twist. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
