To make our classic version, we use a clean, creamy, and smooth Sapling Vodka stirred over a generous amount of ice coated with dry vermouth, then finished with rich lemon oils.
50ml Sapling Vodka
10ml Noilly Prat Original Dry
Lemon Peel
Chill your glass first (Coup, Nick & Nora or a Martini Glass). Then, fill your mixing glass with ice to the top. Feel free to crack your first ice cubes to add the smaller pieces that will kick-start the dilution. Next, coat the ice with dry vermouth and add vodka. Then stir with a bar spoon until the ingredients are combined and chilled while adding dilution that will unveil all subtle notes in your spirits. Next, double-strain it to your chilled glass, ensuring that the drink’s surface looks smooth and creamy without ice shards. Next, take a large peel of your lemon and squeeze it about 15cm above your glass to release oils. Now soak it into your delicious drink and enjoy the first sip.
