Instructions
- Step 1: In a mixing glass filled with ice cubes to the brim, pour 2.5 oz London dry gin and 0.5 oz dry vermouth.
- Step 2: Stir gently with a bar spoon for 30 seconds to chill without over-diluting.
- Step 3: Strain into a chilled martini coupe glass.
- Step 4: Express the oils of 1 thin strip of fresh lemon peel over the surface by twisting it skin side down, then rim the glass with it and drop it inside.
- Step 5: Lightly slap 1 small fresh rosemary sprig between your hands to release aromatics and place it delicately on the rim of the glass as garnish.
