2 units of alcohol per serve

Equipment

  • 1 x Martini glass

  • 1 x Strainer

  • 1 x Jigger

  • 1 x Ice

  • 1 x Cocktail shaker

  • 1 x Knife

Method

  • Ice

    Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.

  • Pour

    Using a jigger, measure 35ml London Dry Gin, 10ml vodka and 10ml dry vermouth into the shaker.

  • Mix

    Shake the mixture vigorously until the surface of the cocktail shaker feels chilled. Use a cocktail strainer to strain into a martini glass.

  • Garnish

    With a sharp knife slice the peel from a lemon on a chopping board and twist over the rim of the glass to garnish.

  • Grab a bite

    Get some grub in before or while you’re drinking – it slows alcohol absorption.
