The Classic Martini

• 4 parts Beefeater gin
• 1 part Noilly Prat dry vermouth
• 1 small strip of lemon peel

1. Fill a mixing glass with ice.
2. Pour in the gin and vermouth.
3. Stir for 30 seconds, then strain into a chilled coupe.
4. Twist the lemon peel over the drink, then place it on the coupes edge.
5. The mildly adventurous can garnish with a fresh sage leaf instead.
