Notes
Feel free to use your favorite gin, and either Cocchi Americano or Lillet Blanc.The traditional recipe is a 3/4 oz pour of each of the four main ingredients but I like it with more gin and a touch of extra sweetness. You can either try it this way or go 3/4 oz of each and leave out the simple syrup.It's a delicious touch to finish the drink by squeezing the oils of either a lemon or orange peel on top of the cocktail. Both work well so it just depends on which flavor you want to highlight more.
