Glass Guide- Cocktail Glass

Think of the Imperial as a Martini with a cherry twist. The suggested teaspoon of maraschino liqueur is a matter of personal taste, but you can use more or less depending on your own preference. Although too much is not a good thing in this case.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz dry vermouth
  • 2 oz gin
  • 1 tsp maraschino liqueur
  • lemon twist for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice cubes.
  2. Stir well.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Garnish with the lemon twist.
