The Story Behind The L'Orange Martini

For a twist on a delicious classic, I love adding a bit of orange bitters to my regular Martini. This time, I decided to go even further, adding orange liqueur to complement the citrusy notes in the gin and bitters.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces gin
  • ½ ounce dry vermouth
  • ½ ounce orange liqueur
  • 3 to 4 dashes orange bitters
  • Orange peel, for garnish

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients to a mixing glass and stir to combine.
  2. Strain into a coupe.
  3. Garnish with an orange peel.
