I got this recipe from a book of cocktails I received as a Christmas gift. The author says that this cocktail sometimes includes sugar to sweeten it, but I tried the "original" recipe, at his recommendation. It is short, sour, sharp, and spicy - a very serious cocktail.

• 1.5 measures gin
• 1/2 measure lime juice
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Shake with ice, strain into cocktail glass. No garnish.
