Bombay Club Original Dry Martini

At 830 Rue Conti, in the New Orleans French Quarter there sits an elegant little place, with a pristine and cozy bar. On that bar one can expect cocktails of extraordinary measure. One such is made up of their recipe for the “Original Dry Martini”.

INGREDIENTS:
1.5 oz top shelf Gin
1.5 oz Dolin Vermouth de Chambery Blanc
1 dash of Regan’s Orange Bitters No. 6. If you can’t locate that, try Angostura Orange Bitters.
Lemon twist for garnish

DIRECTIONS:
I suggest you do not bruise that top shelf gin by blending or shaking. Prepare in a bar cup and stir gently. Add an ice cube to chill, but hold the ice back with a strainer when poured. Twist the lemon rind for a soft mist of lemon oil across the top. Enjoy.
