Leap Year Cocktail

2 oz gin (I'd go with Beefeaters on this one) 
½ oz sweet vermouth 
½ oz Grand Marnier 
¼ oz fresh lemon juice 

Shake above ingredients with ice, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass, then garnish with a lemon twist, just so. It's a fine drink, though I don't think you'll be hemming and hawing for this drink over the next three years. But do enjoy it now at your own Leap Year celebration (you are going to be celebrating Leap Year, right?).
