Equipment

  • 1 Cocktail Shaker Essential for chilling and mixing the ingredients thoroughly.
  • 1 Old Fashioned Glass The specified serving vessel for this cocktail.
  • 1 Jigger For accurate measurement of spirits and liqueurs.
  • 1 Cocktail Strainer To separate the liquid from the ice after shaking.

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 cup ice
  • 2 fluid ounces gin
  • 1 tablespoon triple sec
  • 1 cup ice

Instructions
 

  • Place 1 cup ice in an old-fashioned glass. Set aside. Combine gin, triple sec, and 1 cup ice in a cocktail shaker. Cover and shake until chilled. Strain into the prepared old-fashioned glass.

Notes

For optimal chill and minimal dilution, ensure your serving glass is pre-chilled. The quality of your gin and triple sec will profoundly impact the final taste, so opt for reputable brands. Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until the shaker is frosty, ensuring proper chilling without over-dilution. To elevate the drink, express an orange peel over the finished cocktail and drop it in as a garnish; the oils will enhance the aromatic complexity and complement the citrus notes of the triple sec. Consider using large format ice in the serving glass to further slow down dilution.
