Notes
Helpful tips
- The Bronx cocktail is usually served in a classic martini glass but I also enjoy serving it in a coupe glass, which is better known for serving martinis and champagne.
- Buy the best gin you can afford, but if you're on a budget, Bombay Sapphire is a solid brand to use.
- I usually use a channeling knife to create my garnish twists.But since I wanted a thicker twist than usual for this cocktail, I decided to cut it differently. Here's how: cut an orange in half and slice away a couple of orange wheels. Cut out the flesh from each wheel and set aside to float later in the finished cocktail. Make a cut in each of the remaining rind wheels in order to break the circle so you can twist them into spirals.
