The Jersey Cocktail is a classic cocktail that beautifully balances the sweetness of vermouth with the boldness of gin and the citrusy flair of orange bitters. It's a sophisticated drink that showcases the elegance of early 20th-century mixology.
Shake gently for about 10-15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with a lemon twist by expressing the oils over the drink and placing it on the rim or floating it in the cocktail.
Notes
For a slightly different twist, you can experiment with the type of gin used, as different gins can impart unique flavors to the cocktail. Additionally, the Jersey Cocktail can be served straight up or on the rocks, depending on personal preference.
