Austrian Martini
2 ounces Tanqueray Gin
1 ounce Noilly Prat dry vermouth
1/2 ounce Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur
1 lemon twist, for garnish

Fill a mixing glass two-thirds full of ice and add all of the ingredients. Stir 30 seconds, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Light a match and hold it close to the top of the drink. Take the lemon twist in your other hand and hold it by the sides. (The yellow part should point toward the drink.) Hold the twist over the match and squeeze it to release its oils. You will see them sparkle as they leap through the flame into the drink.
