Old Tom gives the Martini a softer, rounder face. Dry vermouth and orange bitters add structure, and a wide orange twist finishes it with a warm aroma. Rich botanical character and a touch of sweetness, with nothing heavy.

How to make it

Chill a martini glass.

Add the gin, vermouth and bitters to a mixing glass with plenty of ice and stir for about 30 seconds.

Strain into the chilled glass, express a wide orange twist over the surface and rest it on top.

From the Master Blender

Express the orange twist over the surface and wipe it around the rim. The oils meet the first sip.
