How to make Mayflower Martini

    Pre-chill one clear V-shaped martini glass and cut exactly one short narrow lemon-zest twist.

  2. 02

  3. 03

    Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice and seal it securely.

  4. 04

    Shake firmly for 10–12 seconds until the pale gold mixture is very cold and properly diluted.

  5. 05

    Fine-strain into the chilled martini glass so no small ice or fruit particles reach the drink.
