How to make:

STIR all ingredients with ice and strain into chilled glass.

Garnish:

Lemon zest twist

Comment:

According to his 1935 The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book, Albert Stevens Crockett’s recipe was actually 2/3rds jenever to 1/3 sweet vermouth but produces an overly dry drink so we've slightly upped the proportion of vermouth to gin.

About:

Made with a quality genever oude this is cocktail almost nutty and makes for an interesting aperitif.
