After School Special

Serves 1.

Lillet Blond (a French vermouth/aperitif) is essential for this drink. I suppose that (white) Dubonnet could stand in if absolutely necessary, but I can't vouch for the results. If you don't have orange bitters, regular bitters will do but will result in a pink drink.

A variation, which I have come to prefer over my original, is to substitute a dash of green Chartreuse for the bitters.

  • 2 fl oz Gin
  • 1 fl oz Lillet Blond
  • 1/4 fl oz Meyer lemon juice
  • Dash of Orange Bitters

Shake ingredients over ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange or lemon twist.
