- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz dry vermouth
- 2 dash orange bitters
- Fresh lemon peel for garnish
- Ice
In the cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the vodka, dry vermouth, and orange bitters.
Stir with a cocktail spoon for around 60 seconds. Or shake for 30 seconds.
Cut the lemon peel twist using the lemon zester to achieve the thin twist look or using the knife for a thicker twist look
Strain the cocktail into the chilled martini glass.
Squeeze the lemon peel on top of the glass to release the essential oils and aromas.
Add the peel to the brim of your glass as a garnish.
For a thick lemon peel twist:
Mark an oval shape into the lemon peel with a knife.
Cut the lemon peel.
Make a thin slit in the center of the peel diagonally.
Roll the twist into the cocktail spoon to achieve a more “twist” look.
- For best results and because martinis are never served with ice, chill your martini glass in advance, preferably for 15-20 minutes at least beforehand.
- Only use freshly cut lemon peels since you want the fresh essential oils and aromas from the lemon.
