Metropole drink with orangePin

The trick with vermouth – when you’re not using just a tiny amount in a dry gin martini, that is – is to invest in a good vermouth (they’re not that expensive, anyway).

Recipe

  • 1 ounce cognac
  • 1 ounce dry vermouth
  • Dash of Angostura bitters
  • Dash of orange bitters

Pour everything into a martini glass and stir. Garnish with an orange wedge.
