Preparation

1. hill a short cylindrical tumbler glass with ice or by placing the glass in the freezer ahead of time, as is customary at Harry’s Bar.
2. In a mixing glass filled with ice, put in a dash of vermouth, and stir.
3. Then add gin to the vermouth.
4. Alternatively, to avoid using ice and to be faithful to the Cipriani Drinks recipe, store the two spirits in the freezer to keep them icy and ready for mixing.
5. Stir gently.
6. Pour drink into a cooled glass, straining out the ice used during mixing.
7. Garnish with a twist of lemon rind.
