Ingredients
- 45 ml Old Tom gin
- 10 ml Maraschino liqueur e.g. Luxardo
- 10 ml Lemon juice
- 2 dashes Orange bitters
- Garnish Cherry, 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 cherry, 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.
Origin Story
