Make it
Ratio1.5:1:1
- Method
Stir with ice, then strain over fresh ice.
- Ice
One large fresh cube.
- Glass
Rocks glass.
- Garnish
Orange peel.
Temperature and dilution
Serve very cold and properly diluted.
What does properly diluted mean?
Proper dilution means enough water from melting ice to soften the alcohol without making the drink taste thin. Stir with ice and taste as you go: the drink should be cold, with less alcohol burn and plenty of flavour. Timing varies with your ice.
A note on making
The extra gin needs enough dilution to settle into the bitter and vermouth.
