The Princeton puts gin and port together – a stark contradiction to the gin martini so often associated with gin. Port is sweet enough to be considered a dessert wine.
Combined with gin and not one but three dashes of orange bitters, that sweetness becomes subdued but it’s still there.

Recipe
- 2 ounces gin
- 3/4 ounce port
- 3 dashes orange bitters
Pour all ingredients into a martini glass and stir. Garnish with an orange wedge.
