My interpretation:
1 oz Castle & Key London Dry Gin
1 oz Martini & Rossi Sweet Vermouth
1 dash Regan’s Orange Bitters
Fill mixing-glass half full with ice, stir, strain into whisky glass, garnish with orange twist, serve. — This Sweet Martini with a twist, served down, first appears in Straub 1913 in a 2:1 ratio, sweetened up to 1:1, as usual, when copied by JM1916. There is no mention of ice, so a legitimate form of this drink would include a direct pour, esp. if the vermouth is duly chilled.
