- as needed

- 1 twist
- Lillet Blanc
- 1 ounce

Instructions
- Begin by chilling a martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.
- In a mixing glass, fill it with ice to ensure the cocktail remains cold and refreshing.
- Pour in the gin, vodka, and Lillet Blanc over the ice. This combination creates a delightful balance of flavors.
- Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds. This will chill the ingredients and slightly dilute the drink, enhancing its smoothness.
- Empty the ice water from the chilled martini glass and strain the mixture into it using a fine mesh strainer. This ensures a silky pour without any ice shards.
- To garnish, twist the lemon peel over the drink to release its aromatic oils, then drop it into the glass. This adds a refreshing citrus note to each sip.
