Take 2 heavy "footed" Martini glasses (not stemmed, but shaped and sized as is a stemmed marini glass) anda liter of (a) Bombay Sapphire or (b) Monopolowa Vodka (made in Vienna from potatoes) and place in deep freeze overnight.
Take a lemon, warm it between your hands (or better yet, between the thighs of an attractive receptive woman - after a couple of these she'll be even more receptive), cut a couple of strips of peel, attempting to minimize the "white".
Think of a vermouth label, picturing it in your imagination, holding it there.
Remove glasses and booze, pouring a hefty double in each glass, twist the lemon peels over the booze, and then rub them about the rims of the glasses, dropping them in or discarding at your option.
Partake!
