AdInstructions
- Put the glass and the bottle of gin in the freezer at least two hours ahead.
- About an hour before serving, add a little water to the frozen glass and swirl it so it coats the inside, then return the glass to the freezer. Repeat with small amounts of water, turning the glass now and then, so the sides build up an icy layer.
- When it is time to serve, pour the chilled dry vermouth into the icy glass and swirl to coat the inside.
- Pour in the frozen gin.
- Garnish with a chilled olive on a stick or a lemon zest twist and serve at once.
