The earliest version of the Turf dates from around 1895 (Old Tom gin, Angostura bitters, orange bitters). A version very much like the recipe below was first documented in 1922 and is perhaps the greatest variation on the classic Martini ever devised. At least to me. David Wondrich prefers a Holland gin, sweet vermouth, and Angostura version. What does he know, anyway? (Answer: Everything.)
Stir with cracked ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Lemon peel garnish.
