Gin martinis are the original martinis. Back when they were first created sometime in the early 1900s, a few dashes of orange bitters were added to this classic cocktail.

Ingredients

2 ounces gin
1/2 ounce dry vermouth
1 dash orange bitters
1 thin orange peel twist to garnish

Directions

Pre-chill a martini glass by putting in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill.
Place the gin, vermouth and orange bitters into a cocktail shaker and fill with ice.
Shake the mixture vigorously for 35 seconds and then strain into the prepared glass.
Garnish with the orange peel twist and serve immediately.
