Amen.
2 oz Gordons, 5:1 Noilly Prat (6:1 if Vya), dash orange bitters if you have them.
Frozen glass, room temp booze and shaker - gotta have dilution for proper balance.
Stir >30s over really, really cold ice - like out of the deep freeze cold - and let sit while retrieving glass.
Strain and add lemon or grapefruit twist over drink flexing/spritzing it over the surface first. Flame the spritzing oil if you fancy yourself a showman (see Degroff, Regan and contemporaries).
Consume smugly, extending pinky finger outward as the glass is brought upward.
