Bombay Cocktail

Chill a martini glass in advance to ensure optimal serving temperature.

In a mixing glass, combine brandy, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, curaçao, and orange bitters.

Add 2 dashes of absinthe for a hint of anise aroma.

Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture until well-chilled and properly diluted.

Strain the cocktail into the chilled martini glass.

Express the oils from a lemon zest over the surface of the drink and use it as a garnish.
