Knickerbocker Cocktail

Name: Knickerbocker Cocktail
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 0.75 oz Dry Vermouth; 0.25 tsp Sweet Vermouth; 1.5 oz Gin

A bright, botanical sip that showcases gin's juniper and citrus notes balanced by a dry vermouth backbone and a whisper of sweetness from a dash of sweet vermouth. It pours a pale straw color into a chilled cocktail glass and is finished with a lemon twist that adds a lively citrus aroma. Worth trying if you enjoy minimalist, martini-adjacent aperitifs that are crisp, elegant, and spirit-forward.
