#120 Cocktail: Flame of Love

     This one is special. In essence is just a twiist on the classic Martini, but the technique used to prepare this one is the thing that gives the charm.
    The cocktail was specially created for Dean Martin, one of the Rat Pack guys, by Pepe Ruiz, bartender in Dean Martin's favorite restaurant.
     The legend says that, one time, Frank Sinatra, present in the restaurant, was so delighted with this cocktail that it ordered a round for the entire restaurant. The bartenders there were not so pleased, due to the fact that it takes a liiitle more time to prepare than a normal cocktail. Each glass needs to be rinsed with fino sherry and express the oils on the inside of the glass from 2 orange zests.
     This is one of the cocktail that reminds us of an elegant Hollywood era.

3 ounces Gin or Vodka

2 orange zests 

fino sherry
