Instructions
- Pour the tequila, dry vermouth, and bitters into a mixing glass or shaker filled with ice.
- Chill: Stir well (or shake, depending on your texture preference) for about 15–20 seconds.
- Strain: Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail or martini glass.
- Garnish: Finish with a lemon twist or a green olive.
