Turf Cocktail

A sophisticated pre-Prohibition classic that sits comfortably between a Martini and a Martinez. Ideally balanced with equal parts gin and dry vermouth, this cocktail is accented by the unique herbal depth of anisette and aromatic bitters.

Ingredients

• 1 OZ Gin
• 1 OZ Dry Vermouth
• 0.25 TSP Anisette
• 2 DASH Bitters
• 1 SLICE Orange Peel

How to Make It

1. Chill a martini glass in the freezer or by filling it with ice water.
2. In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the gin, dry vermouth, anisette, and bitters.
3. Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well-chilled.
4. Strain the liquid into the prepared chilled glass.
5. Express the oils from the orange peel over the surface of the drink, then drop the twist into the glass as a garnish.
