If you are looking for a cocktail that is not only elegant but unmistakably timeless than a Dry Martini is the most obvious port-of-call. With Gin, Dry Vermouth (we like a six-to-one ratio) & Orange Bitters, this is one potation that always brings an air of sophistication.
Add all the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and stir until very cold. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Lemon twist.
