Must Mix: The Montgomery Cocktail
The Montgomery Cocktail is a dry Martini recipe made with gin.
According to the folks at Cipriani Drinks, the Montgomery is a dry cocktail; it is neither sweet nor bitter, nor yet sour or salty. It is purely and exquisitely dry. This is the secret of a cocktail that has long been part of the history of Harry’s Bar, just like the man who invented it, Mr. Ernest Hemingway.
Preparation
hill a short cylindrical tumbler glass with ice or by placing the glass in the freezer ahead of time, as is customary at Harry’s Bar.
In a mixing glass filled with ice, put in a dash of vermouth, and stir.
Then add gin to the vermouth.
Alternatively, to avoid using ice and to be faithful to the Cipriani Drinks recipe, store the two spirits in the freezer to keep them icy and ready for mixing.
Stir gently.
Pour drink into a cooled glass, straining out the ice used during mixing.
Garnish with a twist of lemon rind.
