Ingredients:
1 oak barrel, (see note) |
22 ounces gin |
11 ounces dry vermouth |
ice |
lemon twists, for serving |
Directions:
1. If the barrel is new and dry inside, fill it with water and let stand until watertight, about 24 hours. Drain.
2. Using a funnel, fill the barrel with all of the liquid ingredients. Let age, tasting a sample once a week, until the cocktail has taken on a rounded but not overly oaky flavor, about 1 month.
3. Strain the cocktail through a coffee filter–lined funnel into a glass container and store indefinitely.
4. To serve, pour 3 ounces into an ice-filled cocktail shaker and stir until chilled. Strain the drink into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist.
