Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 6 cl gin
  • 2 cl Noilly Prat (very dry vermouth)
  • 1 piece(s) lemon peel
  • ice cubes

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 5 minutes

Fill the cocktail glass with ice and set aside. Empty the ice into a mixing glass or the cup end of a shaker and add the gin and Noilly Prat. Stir for 30 seconds. Tip the ice out of the cocktail glass and “squirt” the lemon zest by swirling it over the cocktail glass (it’s technical jargon, but that’s what it’s called). Rub the zest against the rim of the glass, and then pour the lemon zest into the glass. Strain the martini from the mixing glass into the cocktail glass and serve ice-cold.
