Equipment

Jigger or measuring cup
Cocktail shaker and strainer
Cocktail serving glass (Nick and Nora)
Knife and cutting board
Citrus juicer
Cocktail spray bottle (optional - fill with absinthe)

Ingredients

¾ ounce lemon juice
¾ ounce Cointreau liqueur
¾ ounce gin (London Dry style)
¾ ounce Lillet Blanc
absinthe (to rinse the glass or spray the glass using a cocktail spray bottle)
lemon peel (for garnish)

Instructions

Garnish

Cut a lemon in half and then cut a slice of lemon. Cut a slit in the outer peel of the lemon slice.
Use a paring knife to cleanly separate the peel from the lemon slice, and you'll end up with a long strip of lemon peel with straight sides. Wrap the strip around a bar spoon or skewer and set aside while you make the drink. (see Notes)

Cocktail

Add the lemon juice, Cointreau, gin and Lillet Blanc to the cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake 15-20 times.
Rinse or spray the serving glass with absinthe.
Strain the drink into the glass.
Add the lemon peel garnish and serve.

Notes

You can also make the garnish using a vegetable peeler if you don't want to cut the lemon right away. Just take off a long strip of the lemon peel and use the paring knife to shape it into a long, thin strip with straight edges.
