Malicious Mischief

Chill your martini glass in advance to ensure the perfect serve.

Into a mixing glass filled with ice, add the rye, rose vermouth, and Gran Classico.

Introduce a dash of lavender bitters to the mix for an aromatic lift.

Stir the ingredients gently but thoroughly, ensuring they are well-chilled and properly combined.

Strain the mixture into the pre-chilled martini glass, allowing the silky liquid to flow seamlessly.

Express the oils from a twist of grapefruit peel over the cocktail, enhancing its aroma.

Garnish with the grapefruit peel, elegantly draping it on the rim or floating it atop the drink.
