Ingredients

  • 2 ounces 60 ml of London dry gin
  • 1/2 ounce 15 ml of freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 ounce 15 ml Orgeat syrup
  • Dash of bitters
  • Lemon twist to garnish

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a shaker filled with ice (minus the lemon peel). 
  • Shake until cold (I like a good 15-20 seconds). 
  • Strain into a chilled glass and garnish with the lemon peel.

Notes

The original recipe calls for only half the orgeat syrup (and this is a BOOZY cocktail), but I found it a tiny bit too bitter so upped the amount.
