Arthur Tompkins

The Arthur Tompkins cocktail is a sophisticated blend of flavors that offers a refreshing and citrusy experience. This drink combines 2 ounces of gin with the aromatic and slightly sweet notes of Grand Marnier, an orange-flavored liqueur. The addition of 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice introduces a bright and tangy element, perfectly balancing the sweetness of the Grand Marnier. A twist of lemon peel serves as a fragrant garnish, releasing its essential oils and adding a touch of elegance to the drink's presentation.
