chill your glass
2 parts gin to 1 part dry vermouth.
keep the pours light, you can always have more. you can never have less.
if you hate vermouth, it’s probably because it’s expired. get a new bottle. keep that in the fridge.
find a gin you love. something floral or botanical or tropical for summer. the world is so much bigger than london.
stir with lots of ice and a few dashes of orange bitters. serve with a lemon twist.
if it is raining, forego the orange bitters and citrus. serve with olives. either 1 or 3.
