LONE TREE COCKTAIL
This sophisticated pre-Prohibition cocktail offers a refined twist on the classic Martini, featuring the distinctively sweeter profile of Old Tom Gin. Balanced by equal measures of rich Italian sweet vermouth and crisp French dry vermouth, the Lone Tree Cocktail delivers a complex, aromatic flavor with a smooth, herbal finish. Shake well with ice and serve in a chilled glass for an elegant vintage libation.
