| Glass: | Martini |
| Garnish: | Lemon zest twist |
| Method: | SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass. |
| Comment: | Almond and lemon flavoured gin. Subtle, citrusy and dry. |
| Origin: | This old classic was originally made to an 8:4:4 formula but I have borrowed this 8:2:1 formula from David A. Embury's 1948 'Fine Art of Mixing Drinks' (he describes the original formulation as "horrible"). The addition of water is a Difford touch. |
