The Maiden’s Prayer is a classic cocktail that was first published in American Bar: English & American Drink Recipes by Frank P. Newman. It’s traditionally made with gin, rum, orange liqueur, and Meyer lemon juice, and it got its name because it was known as being a “date-peeler” that would have been served to a young lady by a young man while she was “on the edge of a couch” according to Esquire.
Add gin, rum, triple sec, and lemon juice to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer, strain into a martini or Nick & Nora glass.
Garnish with lemon twist.
