The Orange Peel Thing

OK, I tried the orange peel thing last night. We were out of martini olives so I cut some peel off of an orange and rubbed the rind against the inside of my martini glass. I mixed a gin martini and left the peel in the glass. I don't think it worked well with he Hendrick's I used as that gin already has some pretty strong flavors. The oil really does flavor the drink and I think it would all work much better with vodka.
