1. 01

   Pre-chill one clear coupe and cut exactly one short narrow orange zest twist.

2. 02

   Measure 60 ml Old Tom gin, three dashes orange bitters, one dash absinthe, 5 ml rich simple syrup, and 10 ml chilled water into a mixing glass.

3. 03

   Omit the measured water only when using noticeably wet ice that will supply equivalent dilution.

4. 04

   Fill with solid ice and stir smoothly for 20–25 seconds until very cold and properly diluted.

5. 05

   Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so the surface remains crystal clear and free of ice fragments.

6. 06

   Express the single compact orange twist over the drink, affix it neatly at the rim, and serve.
