I prefer D&G on the rocks, just omit the lemon juice. The lemon twist is perfectly charming here.

I’ve just made a version with lemon zest, rather than lemon juice, and it’s rather nice. I was following the Savoy cocktail book which suggested a garnish of lemon zest, not mentioning juice. Having tried the Dubonnet 2-to-1 gin ratio, supposedly preferred by our late Queen Elizabeth, I think the one-to-one ratio is preferable as a more masculine, muscular drink.

Aside from being served in a different glass, this is identical to the Dubonnet Cocktail #1. Am I missing something or is something missing?
