The Income Tax Cocktail

This citrus-sweetened mix of gin and vermouth is great for taking the edge off during tax season, but it goes down easy any time of year.

1 1/2 oz. gin
3/4 oz. dry vermouth
3/4 oz. sweet vermouth
Juice of 1/4 orange
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Ice cubes
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: cocktail
Garnish: orange wheel

Combine all ingredients and shake with ice cubes. Strain into a chilled glass and garnish.
