Chill Your Glass: Before starting, chill your cocktail glass by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the drink.
Measure and Mix: In a cocktail shaker, add:
2 oz of gin
1 oz of dry vermouth
1/4 oz of absinthe
1/4 oz of maraschino liqueur
2 dashes of orange bitters
Shake with Ice: Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
Strain and Serve: Discard the ice water from your cocktail glass. Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the chilled glass.
Garnish: Express a lemon twist over the drink to release its oils, then drop it in as garnish.
Enjoy: Sip and savor your Tuxedo #2 cocktail!
