2 shared ingredients · also Gin
🥃 Serve in: Coupe Glass
The Joy Division is a modern classic built like an old one. It’s a bone-dry, spirit-forward gin drink with a dark streak, in the spirit of the band it’s named after. Dry gin and dry vermouth give it a crisp, Martini-style base. Triple sec adds a soft orange note that rounds off the edges, and a little absinthe brings a cool, herbal anise shadow that hangs around on the finish. A lemon twist brightens it at the very end. It’s elegant and quietly intense, and it’s a good pick for Martini fans who want something with a bit more mystery.
Fill a shaker 2/3rds with ice and add the ingredients. Shake until chilled. Pour into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist
