Tanqueray Martini

Serve when

Jane starts to order a Pinot Noir, changes her mind mid-sentence, and asks for this instead.

In the movie

Theatrical

  • ~00:21:00 At a hotel bar in New York, Jane orders "a Tanqueray Martini, very dry, with a twist" — right before she spots Jake across the room

Jane orders it almost by accident — she starts to ask for a glass of Pinot Noir, catches herself, and switches to "a Tanqueray Martini, very dry, with a twist" instead, alone at a hotel bar on what's meant to be a low-key work trip. She's barely taken a sip before she hears Jake's laugh across the room, and the drink she picked to feel like an adult on her own becomes the one she's holding when her ex-husband sits back down next to her.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Fill a mixing glass with ice. Add the gin and vermouth.
  2. Stir — don't shake — for about 30 seconds, until well chilled.
  3. Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
  4. Twist a strip of lemon peel over the drink to release its oils, run it around the rim, then drop it in.
