The Duncan

This is a different take on the Boardwalk Martini, an evolution if you will. A major shout out to the lovely and talented Liz for taking it to the next level in a feat of cataclysmic creativity.

Ingredients for two Martini’s:

• Boyd and Blair Potato Vodka. A small batch “craft” vodka.
• Dry Vermouth in a mister (no mister, no deal)
• Lemon
• Crushed Ice
• Regular Ice
• Frosted Martini Glasses….(another deal breaker if they aren’t frosted)
• Toothpicks
• Citrus Stripper

1. Fill bottom half of martini shaker with regular ice cubes.
2. Add 5 ounces Boyd and Blair to your shaker.
3. Remove frosted Martini glasses from ice box.
4. Spray the frozen glasses inside and out with light vermouth spray (it sticks to the frozen glass)
5. Use the stripper to get lemon peel into glass. Ideally you will do the stripping near the glass so you get the lemon zest on the inside of the glass
6. Drop lemon peel in glass
7. Shake the shaker 5-7 times, don’t over shake, you will water down the spirit.
8. Add crushed ice to the shaker….don’t shake…huge upside, it gives you shards…
9. Pour into the two glasses over the lemon peel
10. LET IT SIT. for 5-10 minutes, yes LET IT SIT
11. Congratulate yourself on what a pompous ass you are for making such a perfect duncan
12. Enjoy.
